Taipei has rejected China’s attempt to implement traffic control measures in the Taiwan Strait during Typhoon Dolphin, calling it ‘ridiculous’. China views Taiwan as its own territory and claims the strategic strait, a claim rejected by Taipei and Washington.
Taiwan’s Response
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council stated that China’s statement reflects an ignorance and disregard of international order and norms. Taiwan’s Coast Guard has not detected any abnormal movements by Chinese vessels and has advised merchant and cargo ships to disregard any Chinese broadcast demands.
