For 3 Consecutive days! Chinese vessels repeatedly intruded into waters around #Pratas, a Taiwanese territory. ROC patrol ships expelled both a CCG cutter & a survey vessel, condemning Beijing's provocations as violations of regional peace, sovereignty & international order.

#China Coast Guard #CCG 3501 has been cruising the adjacent waters of the #Pratas for the 3rd day, while a #PRC marine survey ship just recklessly intruded into our territorial waters. These acts are highly provocative. The #PRC is a sick bully, causing trouble across the region.

🚨Trump’s China visit ends → Xi immediately shows teeth. First move: Coast guard swarms + drones hit Taiwan’s Pratas Islands — the key choke point into South China Sea. Salami-slicing in action. Game just escalated. #Taiwan #SouthChinaSea #Pratas https://t.co/yPd5Ev56J1

Important article @taipei_times! “#China using oil rigs near [#Taiwan’s] #Pratas [island] to boost kill chain” https://t.co/NigdiAR2A1 Great to see @JamestownTweets/@ChinaBriefJT research highlighted! https://t.co/t0cglZ1QNl It was wonderful to work with @PLMattis + Jason Wang & his #ingeniSPACE team. We even analyzed #Iran’s offensive use of gas & oil platforms (GOPLATs) during the Tanker Wars.

A #PLA reconnaissance UAV entered our #Dongsha’s (the #Pratas) airspace this morning. It’s reckless, provocative, & has violated int’l law. #Taiwan strongly condemns #China for such irresponsible behavior.

At 0541hrs (UTC+8), a PLA reconnaissance UAV was detected entering Taiwan’s southwestern ADIZ and entering airspace near Dongsha (the Pratas Islands). After radio warnings, the UAV departed the area. The #ROCArmedForces are monitoring the situation and responding accordingly.

Drilling down to the essential facts! China National Offshore Oil Corporation (#CNOOC) items inside #Taiwan’s claimed Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near #Pratas Island: 🛢Currently (as observed as observed from July 1 to August 18, 2025): 12 total permanent or semi-permanent structures. Includes 7 “jacketed” rig structures, 3 Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO) units, & 3 semi-submersible oil platforms. Also: dozens of associated support ships. 🛢Cumulative total since at least May 2020: at least 7 “jackets,” 3 FPSOs, & 5 semi-submersible oil rigs. Also: dozens of associated support ships.

Honored to coauthor bombshell @ChinaBriefJT article! “Rigging the Game: PRC #Oil Structures Encroach on #Taiwan’s #Pratas Island” https://t.co/HAd6qMrLkA Great to write with Jason Wang, Pei-Jhen Wu & Marvin Bernardo + work with @PLMattis & Arran Hope @JamestownTweets! Key findings: 🗼 Beijing’s relentless pressure on Taiwan now includes oil rigs: 12 permanent or semi-permanent structures & dozens of associated ships. The structures, which are owned by state-owned firm CNOOC, include 7 rig structures, 3 floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, & 2 semi-submersible oil platforms. All are located within Taiwan’s claimed exclusive economic zone (EEZ) near Pratas/Dongsha Island. 🗼 Intruding rigs that exploit natural resources without permission typify maritime gray zone operations conducted by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). They are designed to advance territorial claims, establish creeping jurisdictional presence in contested spaces, & shape the operational environment in Beijing’s favor without open conflict—often under the guise of commercial activity. 🗼 CNOOC’s structures could facilitate a full range of coercion, blockade, bombardment, &/or invasion scenarios against Pratas or Taiwan more generally, particularly by enhancing end-to-end “kill chain” (C5ISRT) capabilities if outfitted with sensors. 🗼 Starting in July, CNOOC maneuvered the semi-submersible rig NanHaiErHao deep into Taiwan’s claimed EEZ. It is now only ~30 miles from Pratas’s restricted waters, although CNOOC rigs previously have come as close as 770 yards. 🗼 By operating rigs in a neighbor’s claimed EEZ, Beijing already has succeeded with Taiwan where it failed repeatedly with Vietnam. Persistent Vietnamese protest made the difference on those previous occasions. Failure to protest today risks normalizing sovereignty shaving & encourages further encroachment.

#Taiwan has tried to stop the CCG3304 from intruding into our territorial waters at #Pratas, Tungsha National Park. The #CCG also targets the #Philippines & #Japan simultaneously. It’s grey zone coercion against countries on the 1st Island Chain. #China is such a troublemaker.
