A senior Taiwanese security official warned that China has more than 50 naval and official vessels operating simultaneously in a vast sweep of regional waters.

Taiwan’s published tracking maps highlighted the presence of 34 warships, including the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning and its accompanying battle group positioned east of the Philippines.

The maneuvers underscore mounting strategic tensions across East and Southeast Asia as neighboring governments closely monitor China’s expanding naval reach.
