China has been documented using green military grade lasers in the South China Sea, primarily involving confrontations with the Philippine Coast Guard vessels to temporarily blind crew members well within their own exclusive economic zone. Although this particular footage may be old it's an interesting display of grey-zone tactics and pushing the line of confrontation.

@PhilstarNews I'm sure this is being done all over the world and not just in the Philippines. Sad!

Taiwan’s military has not detected any PLA aircraft sorties near its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) since February 27th, a period of five days. Weather is not poor, and activity is normal elsewhere. Possibly coincidentally, this coincides with the beginning of US military action in Iran and the beginning of the Lantern Festival.

5 PLAN vessels and 1 official ship operating around #Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. We have monitored the situation and responded. Illustration of flight path is not provided due to no PLA aircraft operating around Taiwan were detected during this timeframe.

China’s “fishing fleet” isn’t just catching tuna. It’s backed by subsidies, satellites, and maritime militia tactics to spread Chinese influence across the world. And the world is paying the price. #China #IllegalFishing #FoodSecurity #GlobalPower geopulselab.org/global-watch/g…

Having depleted fish stocks in its own coastal waters in the early 2000s, Chinese fishing boats now sail to South America. Last year, China accounted for 80 percent of fishing in the waters off Argentina, Ecuador, and Peru. This can not only be seen through AIS ship tracking but also first-hand accounts.

South Korea has implemented a strict zero-tolerance policy toward illegal fishing by any vessels (not just Chinese) in its waters, and recently, it has intensified these efforts through directives from President Lee Jae Myung to impose heavier fines and stronger responses. This includes plans to increase penalties up to 1.5 billion won for violations. Other nations facing similar challenges might consider adopting comparable strategies to address ongoing illegal activities until compliance improves like we are seeing in South Korea.

New @umbraspace imagery taken today shows Chinese construction at Antelope Reef proceeds at rapid pace. The probable cement plant has been unloaded and awaits assembly, new pre-fabricated shelters and a new helipad have been built, and 22 dredgers continue their operations.

@nothanksfrankie Agreed, China is exercising these types of activities under the guise of the coast guard and maritime militia in the West Philippines & South China Sea

Looking deeper into the data on PLA activity around Taiwan you can see no no sudden spike from 2024 to 25 (most likely due to internal China & PLA issues), but it's clear there has been a steady ramp up from 2023 after pro Taiwan independence President Lai's inauguration. This sustained pressure is worth watching closely.

Continued monitoring of the land reclamation/island building activity at Antelope Reef, Paracel Islands, South China Sea, highlights the pace & scale of China’s expansion of this disputed, Chinese-occupied feature, through Jan-Feb 2026

Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on a routine Maritime Domain Awareness patrol around Scarborough Shoal spots a Chinese J-11 fighter jet circling at ~6,000 ft at 10:30 AM. Likely launched from Woody Island, China's man-made island outpost.
