According to a report from the mainland, a suspected PLA submarine was spotted surfacing in the waters between Kinmen and Penghu by local fishermen, identified as a strategic nuclear submarine capable of carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles. One speculated reason for its surfacing was to demonstrate to Taiwan and the US, following recent tensions and joint military exercises near Taiwan. The article mentioned that such actions of surfacing in sensitive areas could serve as a form of military demonstration and deterrence, a strategy also employed by the US Navy in the Middle East in recent years.
