Taiwan's military reported another day of Chinese activity around the island, a routine but steady pressure that keeps tensions high.

• Taiwan's defense ministry tracked five Chinese navy ships, six government vessels, and two military aircraft near the island over a 24-hour period.
• Taiwan responded with its own aircraft, ships, and land-based missile systems watching the movements.
• These daily reports have become normal, showing China keeps up constant pressure without crossing into open conflict.
• The mix of coast guard and other government boats alongside warships is part of China's approach of using non-military vessels to press its claims.

Outlook: Expect these near-daily incursions to continue, with Taiwan keeping its forces on alert.
