Tensions rise as a recent video captured a Chinese submarine near Kinmen, with the Chinese defense ministry declining to comment. The ongoing US-led military exercise in the Pacific on June 27 is seen as a measure to deter a potential Chinese military offensive on Taiwan, yet China's defense ministry asserts that such actions will not intimidate their military. Meanwhile, Beijing alleges that the US dropped electronic devices near Ren'ai Reef in the South China Sea, prompting a response from Chinese authorities. With implications for the wider region, including potential involvement of the Philippines and the US military presence, the situation underscores the international significance of cross-strait relations.
