China has recently displayed a significant show of force by surrounding Taiwan with numerous fighter jets and warships. This demonstration of power is reportedly in response to Taiwan swearing in a new president. The Chinese government has issued warnings to any separatist forces advocating for Taiwan's independence, emphasizing the inevitability of China's complete reunification.
Taiwan, in response to the looming threat of a potential full-scale Chinese invasion, has begun bolstering its defenses. One critical aspect of Taiwan's vulnerability lies in its undersea internet cables, which are considered fragile and susceptible to Chinese attacks. These fifteen undersea cables serve as vital strategic assets and potential military targets. Severing these cables could result in a complete internet blackout for the 24 million people residing in Taiwan, leaving the island democracy exposed.
