Chinese vessels have been conducting maritime patrols near Taiwan, prompting Taipei to shadow the ships, per Politico.

The clashes follow increased tensions in the Strait of Taiwan, with both sides accusing each other of harassment and provocative actions, SCMP reports.

Taipei has protested against what it calls APEC 'discrimination' over Taiwan's participation, as China steps up its maritime presence, Taipei Times notes.

The situation has raised concerns about regional stability, with the Strait of Taiwan emerging as a critical chokepoint amid escalating cross-strait tensions.
