US 🇺🇲 PRC 🇨🇳 ROC🇹🇼 REPORTS | 2024

We appreciate the #EU’s🇪🇺 concern over #China’s military drills near #Taiwan🇹🇼 & its opposition to unilateral action to alter the status quo. Despite intimidation, we’ll strengthen cooperation with like-minded partners to uphold freedom, democracy & rules-based order.
 
Global Times reported May 23rd that 🇨🇳 China Coast Guard ships 14606 and 14607 sailed around Wuqiu and Dongyin as part of a "comprehensive law enforcement exercise."
What Global Times reported above was incorrect. CCG 14606 sailed around Dongyin, as was evident by video shared thru Weibo.

Geolocation of rock protrusion (right) is 26.368015, 120.510938
In fact, it wasn't just one 🇨🇳 China Coast Guard ship, but a small flotilla.

Along with CCG 14606, there were the following:

PLA Navy Type 056A ASW corvette
PLA Navy Type 022 missile boat
CCG 14506

Perhaps several other smaller boats

United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told a gathering of top security officials Saturday that war with China was neither imminent nor unavoidable, despite rapidly escalating tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, stressing the importance of renewed dialogue between him and his Chinese counterpart in avoiding “miscalculations and misunderstandings.”
Austin's comments at the Shangri-La defense forum in Singapore came the day after he met for more than an hour on the sidelines with Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun, the first in-person meeting between the top defense officials since contacts between the American and Chinese militaries broke down in 2022 after then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, infuriating Beijing.
Neither side budged from their longstanding positions on Taiwan — which China claims as its own and has not ruled out using force to take — and on China's sweeping claims in the South China Sea, which has led to direct confrontations between China and other nations in the region, most notably the Philippines.
While declining to detail the specifics of their conversation, Austin said the most important thing was that the two were again talking.

China won’t allow cold or hot war in Asia-Pacific, Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun says​

  • In address to Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Dong says his country stands firm against ‘war or chaos’ in region
  • Beijing committed to ‘peaceful reunification’ with Taiwan, but ‘Taiwan separatists and external forces’ are undermining that prospect
