Taiwan’s Coast Guard is investigating a mysterious ship intercepted in its restricted waters. The unmarked vessel had no identifying flag or registered home port and was crewed by six people believed to be Chinese nationals—none of whom carried identification. The ship was carrying 500,000 liters of fuel, suspected to be used for refueling illegal fishing boats. Authorities say the incident is part of an uptick in Chinese gray zone tactics aimed at wearing down Taiwan’s defenses.
