US Commission chair warns China Coast Guard patrols East of Taiwan are 'Highly Destabilising'

China has increased its Coast Guard patrols near Taiwan, which raises concerns about regional stability and sovereignty claims.

The United States continues to support Taiwan, despite pending arms package approvals related to these tensions.
