💨 Abstract

A Chinese freighter, Hong Tai 58, suspected of severing an undersea cable connecting Taiwan's main island to Penghu County is believed to be owned by a Chinese state-run company. The vessel used different names while docking at Taiwanese ports and violated International Maritime Organization rules. Taiwanese experts urge the government to strengthen maritime surveillance, cooperate with friendly nations, and punish saboteurs to deter Chinese crews. The investigation is ongoing.
