Reports emerged of retired Chinese naval captain driving a speedboat into Taiwan's Tamsui waters, leading to allegations that Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council Chair Kuan Bi-ling inadvertently disclosed a supposed national secret during a briefing. However, the Council clarified that the capabilities of radar detection on various enemy ships' distances are not classified information. Retired officer Li Zheng-jie accused Chair Kuan of leaking sensitive data, but the Council stressed that the radar functionalities were part of publicly disclosed equipment requirements in relevant procurement projects, hence not breaching national security. Li argued that this information could potentially benefit the Chinese military in understanding Taiwan's radar capabilities and blind spots for future attack plans. The incident has sparked discussions on Taiwan's defense readiness and the implications of a Chinese speedboat 'landing' on Taiwanese shores.
