Taiwan said Chinese ships entered the "prohibited" waters off a disputed island in the South China Sea for the first time on Thursday, condemning escalating "harassment" by Beijing. insiderpaper.com/taiwan-says…

🇹🇼 #Taiwan fired 32 US supplied HIMARS rocket launchers into the Taiwan Strait for the first time, stimulating a Chinese invasion 🇨🇳 for a two day exercise to display mobility and ability to "shoot-and-scoot", on the western coast near Taichung. #HIMARS #CCP #China #Missiles

#Taiwan 🇹🇼 sends messages to both the #US 🇺🇸 and #China 🇨🇳, demonstrating its ability to defend itself, committed to its independence with strong US-Taiwan ties. It thus demonstrates that it fully deserves US support, as the $14 billion U.S. arms package is currently on hold.

📰 Here's an interesting article from @koreatimescokr about Kim and Xi summit 🇨🇳🤝🇰🇵: koreatimes.co.kr/foreignaffa…. Analysts are arguing that denuclearisation talks did not take place between the two, no longer a priority for China. Instead it prefers to show unity to counter US 🇺🇸.

🇨🇳⚓️Remember the Liaoning? It conducted 170 sorties in 3 days in the Philippine Sea, according to the JDMSF, shortly after the USS George Washington 🇺🇸(CVN-73) operated in the area. Its deployment with a Jianghai III-class frigate's first mission, underscored 🇨🇳's expanding role.

🇹🇼⚓️Do you remember the Hai-Kun submarine? After facing difficulties, it departed from Kaohsiung port on Monday where it conducted its latest round of sea trials. If the tests are successful, the delivery could take place between July and September. #IndoPacific #Submarines
Taiwan’s indigenous submarine Hai Kun (Narwhal) conducted its 15th sea trial on June 1, including its 9th submerged-navigation test. According to CNA, upcoming evaluations will include seaworthiness and deep-diving trials, among the most significant remaining milestones before delivery to the ROC Navy. Shipbuilder CSBC previously indicated it hopes to deliver Hai Kun in June, though military experts cited by CNA assess successful completion of the remaining tests could place delivery between July and September.

This year, Marara 2026 will take place in Tahiti, Makemo and Hao. French Polynesia 🇵🇫 is as big as Europe, making it a true logistic challenge for France 🇫🇷 and its Pacific partners 🌏 to respond as quickly as possible to natural disasters! #MARARA26 #HADR #Pacific #FAPF

While Hegseth 🇺🇸 advocates for the rise of military power and defense spending, Tô Lâm🇻🇳highlights the respect of the rules based order to maintain peace and stability to the 3 challenges: erosion of international rules law ⚖️, crisis of development models & crisis of trust.

With Trump's visit 🇺🇸in Beijing, Hegseth stresses the constructive strategic stability with 🇨🇳& did not mentioned #Taiwan, while he warned an imminent Chinese invasion of 🇹🇼 last year. @ASEAN is in an uncomfortable position and are on high alert about US abandonment/entrapment.

🇨🇦⚓️Canadian frigate HMCS Charlottetown (FFH 339) transited by #TaiwanStrait 🇹🇼. The last time it was a 🇨🇦 destroyer HMCS Ville de Québec (FFH 332) the 5th of sept, 2025. 🇨🇦 is usually passing twice a year in the 🇹🇼 strait. Will they do it again in 2026 ?
NEW: According to The Globe and Mail, the Canadian Halifax-class frigate HMCS Charlottetown (FFH 339) transited the Taiwan Strait from May 22–23. This marks Canada’s first reported Taiwan Strait transit of 2026, following the most recent transit of HMCS Ville de Quebec (FFH 332) in September 2025.
