An exclusive report dated July 4, 2024, at 6:27 AM states that amid increasing military, economic, and diplomatic pressure from China on Taiwan since President Tsai Ing-wen took office, experts believe that lack of communication between the two sides will worsen misunderstandings and lead to hardened stances, calling for Washington to actively urge the establishment of reliable secret communication channels between the two sides to clarify intentions and prevent conflicts. A recent incident involving a fishing vessel from Penghu being detained by Chinese maritime authorities has exacerbated tensions, with Taiwan calling for a non-political resolution and China citing fishing violations near Quanzhou as the reason for their actions. Scholars highlight the need for Washington's intervention to ease the situation in the Taiwan Strait to avoid escalation.
