The recent aggressive actions of the CCP in escalating legal warfare by sending government vessels to disputed areas like the East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea, and threatening legal consequences for those who hold differing opinions on Taiwan's future, aim to legitimize their actions through law. The US State Department strongly condemned these destabilizing actions, calling for meaningful dialogue between China and Taiwan and emphasizing that threats and legal warfare cannot peacefully resolve the Taiwan Strait disputes. China's increased maritime activities in the region has garnered international concern, especially with the implementation of new coast guard rules in June allowing the detainment of foreign citizens in disputed waters. Despite primarily targeting the Philippines and Taiwan, other countries in the region are also worried about China's aggressive tactics. Beijing's growing navy, combined with economic coercion, online manipulation, legal strategies, and political intervention, threatens its maritime neighbors with grey zone tactics. Through the deployment of the largest fleet of coast guard vessels globally, China aims to establish a 'new normal' by upgrading its bullying behavior in the gray zone. However, the ongoing '2024 Pacific Military Exercise' and the cooperation of countries in military preparations and security alliances suggest that China's legal warfare strategy may face resistance, as coastal nations in the South China Sea are likely to counteract. China's actions are uniting other countries in resistance, highlighted by the US's public statement on expanding international participation and military aid to Taiwan, undermining the legitimacy and effectiveness of China's legal warfare intentions.
