China’s threat towards island is “evolving”

Taiwan’s defense ministry said on Friday that China’s threat to Taiwan and the region has been evolving since 2022, when it began its current series of war games, and its recent large-scale buildup of maritime forces is a testament to this.

China’s long-term goal of deterring regional parties and disrupting the rule-based international order will not be endorsed by the international community, the ministry said in a statement.
