Potential Chinese Sabotage of Deep Sea Cable Off Coast of Taiwan

Fears are mounting over potential Chinese sabotage after a deep sea cable was reportedly cut off the coast of Taiwan, leading to concerns about external communications being disrupted and vulnerability to a Chinese invasion. The damaged cable was blamed on a Cameroon-registered cargo ship believed to be owned by China. Taiwan has called for help from South Korea to track down the ship. China has long claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and has not ruled out the use of force to reunify with the island.
