On June 23, 2024, at 1:28 am, the American think tank CSIS published a new report warning that China could use a third method, utilizing coast guard ships or maritime militia, to isolate Taiwan in addition to full-scale invasion and military blockade. Meanwhile, the US Marine Corps commander revealed in an interview with the Nikkei that the establishment of a littoral combat team in Okinawa last November was to counter China's aggression. China's use of coast guard ships and maritime militia in the South China Sea, surrounding and even attacking Filipino troops, has made it the powder keg of the Indo-Pacific region. Following President Lai's inauguration on May 20, China immediately launched joint military drills, increasing military activities towards Taiwan.

However, as the EU discusses imposing higher tariffs on Chinese electric cars, the German Vice Chancellor is currently visiting Beijing, showing goodwill by stating that tariffs are a last resort and emphasizing the importance of open communication.
