As invasion fears rise, China hones Taiwan blockade strategy:
As China ups the ante near Taiwan with military exercises designed to encircle the self-ruled island, Beijing may not have an invasion on its mind but rather another approach: a blockade.
The People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) increasingly frequent exercises around Taiwan, particularly its long-range deployments in the Pacific, indicate that Beijing is refining a strategy to cut the island off from the outside world and keep Taipei's potential military partners at bay.

US lawmaker reaffirms support for Taiwan's defense:
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The U.S. must support Taiwan to ensure its self-defense, House Committee on Foreign Affairs Chair Michael McCaul said on Wednesday (Oct. 4) at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office’s National Day celebration.

Speaking at the Twin Oaks Estate, McCaul said he is committed to making sure Taiwan gets the arms and training it needs to counter China's increasingly provocative military actions, CNA reported. Protecting Taiwan's democracy is crucial to U.S. national security and economic interests, he said.

When asked by the media if the removal of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the recent government shutdown crisis might affect security assistance to Taiwan, McCaul said it would not. He said these developments have nothing to do with American support for Taiwan.

China's Warplanes on Track To Buzz Taiwan in Record Numbers:
China's air force is poised to once again break the record for the number of warplanes it has sent across the median line, the midpoint of the Taiwan Strait that Beijing and Taipei previously tacitly agreed not to cross. China has been unilaterally ignoring this in recent years.

As Taiwan prepares for its presidential election—a contest in which relations with its giant neighbor always loom large—People's Liberation Army Air Force aircraft had crossed into Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) a total of 1,390 times in 2023 as of the end of September, according to data provided by Taiwan's Ministry of Defense. This is an increase of nearly 10 percent compared with the 1,263 incursions up to the end of September 2022 and a 43 percent rise compared with 2021.

US Warns China Cost for Blockading Taiwan to Be 'Very High':
WASHINGTON —
The United States is casting doubt on China’s willingness to launch a blockade of Taiwan as part of any effort by Beijing to take the island by force.

China’s military has staged multiple drills, most recently this past April, which state media described as efforts to simulate a possible blockade. But a top Pentagon official said Thursday that any attempt by China to carry out a blockade in real life could backfire badly.
