China kept up daily military pressure around Taiwan over the past day, a routine but steady negative for regional stability.

• Taiwan's defense ministry tracked seven Chinese navy ships, two coast guard vessels, and several military aircraft near the island in 24 hours.
• Most of the aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the north, southwest, and east air zones.
• Taiwan responded with its own aircraft, ships, and land-based missile systems watching the activity.
• These near-daily incursions wear down Taiwan's forces and keep tension high without crossing into open conflict.

Outlook: Expect the pattern to continue at a similar pace, with occasional spikes around political events or foreign visits.
