According to Nikkei Asia, China is currently employing what experts call 'gray-zone' strategies against the Diaoyu Islands (known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan), the Scarborough Shoal near the Philippines, and the Kinmen Islands of Taiwan, engaging in hostile behaviors that fall short of actual conflict, causing concern among multiple countries. These locations lie within the 'First Island Chain' in East Asia, viewed by China as its first line of defense.
