On June 23, 2024, at 7:37 am, a Chinese navy warship, the Xi'an missile destroyer with hull number 153, was sighted by Penghu fishermen in the traditional fishing grounds of Penghu, near the mid-line of the strait. This sighting raised concerns among locals, with previous sightings of a Chinese 094 missile submarine in the area, and a recent increase in Chinese military activities near Taiwan. The upcoming annual Han Kuang exercise, scheduled for July 22, will focus on realistic combat scenarios without prior demonstrations, aiming to strengthen Taiwan's defense capabilities. Amidst heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait, rumors of US officials visiting Taiwan to discuss countering China's actions have surfaced, emphasizing the need to prevent Taiwan's exclusion from international discussions despite misrepresentations of UN Resolution 2758. These developments signify the ongoing efforts to bolster Taiwan's defense against Chinese threats.
