A Chinese man surnamed Ruan successfully breached Taipei's Danshui River Estuary on a speedboat last Sunday without any hindrance and was only arrested after collision and landing at the port, causing an uproar in Taiwan. Criticism arose questioning the serious breach in Taiwan's defense, especially as the river traverses major political centers like Taipei. It was confirmed that Ruan has a background in the People's Liberation Army and had been a former navy ship captain, leading to doubts on Taiwan's self-defense capability. The incident raised concerns over potential military 'grey zone' provocations by China towards Taiwan. The Taipei City Councilors described the incident as extremely humiliating and called for better monitoring and interception capacities in Taiwan's defense system.
