Yahoo News reported that a Chinese Type 094 advanced nuclear-powered submarine surfaced this morning in the waters near Dongji Island and Jinsha, raising concerns. Experts believe the submarine might have accidentally surfaced, as it is difficult for submarines to operate in the shallow waters of most of the Taiwan Strait. They suggest it may have encountered a fault and had to emerge back to its mother port for maintenance. The situation is not seen as a direct threat, with experts emphasizing the need for clarity before drawing conclusions.

Yahoo News reported on June 18, 2024, that a Chinese 094-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine surfaced near Dongji Island and Jinsha waters, raising concerns. Experts suggest that the submarine may have surfaced due to a malfunction rather than as a deliberate intimidation tactic, as the shallow waters in the Taiwan Strait are not ideal for tactical submarine operations and could be challenging even for a malfunctioning sub. The incident has sparked speculation but authorities advise waiting for more information before drawing conclusions.

On June 18 2024, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) emphasized the need for 'equal and goodwill' dialogue with mainland China during a seminar. DPP Chair and President Lai Ching-te urged responsible interactions between ruling parties on both sides, highlighting that communication should be based on goodwill and equality, not as a transaction. Contrasting this with recent undisclosed meetings between Kuomintang (KMT) legislators and Chinese officials, which were criticized as meaningless and lacking transparency, the DPP called for mainstream Taiwanese voices to be taken seriously by the other side before initiating formal or informal exchanges. The DPP's approach aims for equality, dignity, and understanding of each other's differing political perspectives, rather than being constrained by certain political agendas. Despite recent military incidents near Taiwan involving a Chinese submarine and aircraft, the DPP remains prepared for healthy exchanges, expecting mainland China to reciprocate goodwill gestures, as shown by President Lai's inauguration speech neutrality stance and welcoming gestures towards cross-strait tourism and students. The DPP also highlighted the need for vigilance amidst China's strategic gray zone actions not only targeting Taiwan but the entire first island chain.
