U.S. to deploy missile units to Japan islands in Taiwan contingency:
The U.S. military will set up temporary bases along Japan's southwestern Nansei island chain and the Philippines to deploy missile units in the event of a Taiwan contingency, sources familiar with Japan-U.S. relations said Sunday.

The deployment of the missile units will be incorporated in the first joint operation plan for the United States and Japan to cope with a contingency involving Taiwan and China, which regards the self-ruled island as its own, to be formulated in December.

The U.S. Marine Littoral Regiment, which possesses a multiple-launch High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, will be deployed along the island chain stretching from the Japanese prefectures of Kagoshima and Okinawa toward Taiwan, according to the sources.

From an early stage, when a Taiwan contingency becomes highly imminent, temporary bases will be set up on inhabited islands of the island chain, based on U.S. military guidelines for dispatching Marines in small formations to several locations.

The Japan Self-Defense Forces is expected to mainly engage in logistical support for the marine unit, including supplying fuel and ammunition.

The U.S. Army will deploy the Multi-Domain Task Force's long-range fire units in the Philippines. The MDTF is designed to operate in a multi-domain environment, including air, land, water, space, cyber, and information.

In February 2023, the United States and the Philippines agreed to increase the number of bases available for U.S. military use in the Philippines from five to nine. These bases are expected to be utilized during a Taiwan contingency.

Japan and the United States have been strengthening defense cooperation and boosting the interoperability of the SDF and the U.S. military in the face of threats from China's military buildup, as well as North Korea's nuclear and missile development and growing military ties with Russia.

In July, Japan and the Philippines signed a bilateral defense agreement to facilitate joint exercises for closer security cooperation.

Taiwan asks South Korea for help over Chinese ship after subsea cable damaged:
Taiwan has asked South Korea for assistance investigating a Chinese-owned ship suspected of cutting a subsea cable off its northern coast on Friday.

Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom and the Taiwan Coast Guard said on Saturday that the cargo vessel Shunxing39 was believed to have caused damage to a communications cable — close to the port of Keelung on Taiwan’s north coast — on the morning of January 3.

It follows incidents where Chinese ships came under scrutiny when fibre optic cables in the Baltic Sea were severed last November and a gas pipeline and cable were damaged there in October 2023.

The latest occurrence highlights the vulnerability of crucial offshore communications and energy infrastructure and the difficulties in prosecuting sabotage.

While the ship sails under Cameroon’s flag, Taiwan officials said it was owned by Jie Yang Trading Limited. The Hong Kong-registered company’s only listed director is Guo Wenjie, a mainland China citizen.

Chunghwa Telecom said data connections were immediately restored by rerouting data to other international subsea cables.
