As fears of another full-scale U.S.-Iran war begin to ease, a new geopolitical storm may already be brewing in the Pacific. Taiwan has raised its military alert level after detecting a second Chinese “combat readiness patrol” near the island within a week, intensifying fears of a potential future conflict in the Taiwan Strait. Taipei says it scrambled fighter jets and deployed naval forces after detecting Chinese J-16 fighter jets, drones, warships, and surveillance aircraft operating around the island. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense claimed that several PLA aircraft crossed the sensitive median line and entered Taiwan’s ADIZ, further escalating tensions.
