In 2025, incursions by Chinese naval vessels and military aircraft near Taiwan reached their highest recorded level. Data released through monitoring sources indicate a significant increase in Beijing's military activity in the Taiwan Strait area compared to previous years. According to observers, the intensification of operations suggests a shift in pace in China's strategy toward the island, marked by a growing reliance on military pressure maneuvers. Taiwan, for its part, has continued to monitor and report the movements, maintaining a state of alert. To date, no episodes of direct armed confrontation linked to these incursions have been reported; they are configured as presence and intimidation operations in the area.
