Taiwan’s outlying maritime outposts at risk of surprise attacks by China: report

The transcript discusses the vulnerability of Taiping Island to surprise attacks by China, as highlighted by Zhang Yan Ting, a former deputy commander of the Taiwanese Air Force. The Wu Cho Islands rely on Taiwan for basic supplies, making them susceptible to supply disruptions. Taiping Island has defense measures like howitzers, but these are not readily available in case of a surprise attack. Additionally, China has increased its air and naval patrols near Taiwan's defense zones, prompting calls for Taiwan to monitor these activities closely.
