Taiwan detects 3 Chinese sorties, 7 vessels around strait
Taipei recorded significant military activity on October 7, with Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) detecting three sorties of Chinese military aircraft and seven Chinese naval vessels in its territorial waters by 6 a.m. local time, reports 24brussels.
The MND confirmed its response to the developments, stating, “3 sorties of PLA aircraft and 7 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. ROC Armed Forces have monitored the situation and responded accordingly.” The increased military presence underscores ongoing tensions in the Strait.
This latest incident follows a similar pattern observed the previous day, when the MND reported ten sorties of Chinese aircraft and six naval vessels. Notably, seven of the ten sorties crossed the median line, entering Taiwan’s northern Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The MND reiterated its vigilance, saying, “10 sorties of PLA aircraft and 6 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 7 out of 10 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern ADIZ. ROC Armed Forces have monitored the situation and responded accordingly.”
In addition to these military movements, recent reports indicate that Chinese vessels are using deceptive tactics in Taiwan’s waters. As part of cognitive warfare efforts, these ships have been broadcasting false Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to assess Taiwan’s military responses to different incursions. According to the Institute for the Study of War, instances of Chinese fishing vessels imitating both Russian and Chinese law enforcement vessels have been observed.
The Taipei Times reported that data from Starboard Maritime Intelligence points to the fishing vessel Min Shi Yu 06718 navigating through the Taiwan Strait while periodically emitting AIS signals for itself and another vessel, Hai Xun 15012. The latter is typically operated by the China Maritime Safety Administration, indicating the potential for a fishing vessel to impersonate a CMSA ship in this context, rather than the reverse.

- The Supreme Court denied a bid to stay parts of an antitrust ruling affecting Google’s Play Store.
- The Play Store would need to allow third-party downloads and have other payment options.
- Epic Games won a suit against Google in 2023, and the company has appealed at least twice since.
Google’s Play Store is in for an overhaul.
On Monday, the Supreme Court denied Google’s bid to temporarily block parts of a lower court ruling in its legal fight with Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite.
The Alphabet-owned company had sought to pause orders from the Northern District Court of California that required it to open its app ecosystem to rivals, stop restricting third-party downloads, and allow developers to steer users toward cheaper payment options outside Google’s billing system. For Android users, this would mean being able to access apps directly from developers outside the Play Store, at price points chosen by the developers themselves.
The justices did not comment on why they denied Google’s request.
The dispute stems from a 2020 lawsuit in which Epic Games sued Google, alleging that the company was running an illegal monopoly over its Android app download restrictions and in-app payments.
In December 2023, a California jury ruled in favor of Epic Games, finding that Google’s policies for the Play Store violated antitrust laws. US District Judge James Donato then ordered Google to open Android to competing app stores and allow developers to use their own billing systems for a period of three years.
In July, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that verdict. In September, Google filed a stay, requesting that the ordered remedies be put on hold while the company works on filing a full appeal with the Supreme Court by October 27.
The Supreme Court’s rejection of Google’s request means that the lower court’s orders must be implemented by October 22. The changes will remain unless Google’s full appeal to the Supreme Court is successful.
Apple and its App Store also faced a similar case from Epic Games, which resulted in similar remedies. The iPhone maker has now lost its latest appeal to pause these remedies in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Some of these changes, such as allowing links to external payments, have already been implemented.
Google, Epic Games, and the Supreme Court did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
