Eleven Chinese naval vessels were spotted around Taiwan amid tensions over a fatal fishing boat incident. On February 14, a Chinese speedboat capsized near Taiwan's Kinmen islands, leading to two deaths and heightened tensions. The incident occurred as Taiwan claims China as part of its territory. In response, China sent 15 warplanes, 11 naval vessels, and one balloon into Taiwan's waters and skies within 24 hours. This marks an escalation, with the number of Chinese naval ships exceeding the usual four to six. Beijing accuses Taiwan of evading responsibility, while Taiwan insists it followed proper procedures.
