Recent events have highlighted China's escalating aggression towards Taiwan, with actions such as boarding Taiwanese tourist boats, flying military aircraft closer to Taiwan, and harassing Taiwanese fishing vessels in the South China Sea becoming more frequent. These unprecedented actions are seen as an attempt by Beijing to establish a new normal and potentially pave the way for a takeover of Taiwan.
Experts point out that China's strategy to normalize military encroachments predates recent events, with complex military exercises indicating long-term planning. The visit of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in 2023 seemed to trigger a more noticeable increase in China's hostile behavior.
