A Chinese submarine unexpectedly surfaced near the median line of the Taiwan Strait, witnessed by fishermen in Penghu, Taiwan, as they were preparing for the upcoming fishing season. The submarine, believed to be the latest 'Type 09VI Tang-class' ballistic missile nuclear submarine, was escorted by other naval vessels back to China, suspected of experiencing a malfunction as it did not submerge during its return journey. Despite uncertainty about the exact model, military enthusiasts suggest it could be armed with at least 14 ballistic missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, making it one of China's most powerful nuclear submarines. The incident drew attention amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
