DPP's rant against China-Indonesia drill exposes secessionist nature, reliance on external forces and deep-seated fears: expert

The China Coast Guard's East Sea Bureau spokesperson Zhu Anqing announced that CCG vessels conducted law-enforcement patrols in waters around Taiwan island, with the Liaoning carrier strike group simultaneously conducting drills to Taiwan's east — a paired surface and naval pressure operation whose timing coincided with a China-Indonesia joint exercise that drew criticism from Taiwan's ruling DPP. The concurrent deployment of CCG patrol authority framing alongside Liaoning strike group activity documents the now-standard dual-track approach of pairing coast guard jurisdictional assertion with PLA naval presence, though the article provides no specifics on CCG vessel numbers, patrol routes, or the Liaoning drill's scale or duration.
