This is the first time the biennial report was released in both languages at the same time \u2014 a departure from the previous practice of the English report coming out months after the Chinese version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also said the People\u2019s Liberation Army Strategic Support Force is \u201cnow capable of supporting other service branches to perform far seas and precision strikes by missiles, air defense, and anti-missile operations\u201d with the completion of efforts to deploy China\u2019s BeiDou-3 navigation satellite system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China is speeding up the deployment of JB and Tiantong series reconnaissance and communications satellites, which are capable of providing high-resolution imagery and would strengthen the country\u2019s supremacy in space and electromagnetic domains, the report added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This echoes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/11\/03\/chinas-march-toward-a-world-class-military-and-how-it-threatens-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Pentagon\u2019s recent \u201cChina Military Power Report,\u201d<\/a> which said Beijing\u2019s fleet of reconnaissance and remote sensing satellites is estimated to number about 200, up from \u201cmore than 80\u2033 in last year\u2019s report. These satellites are part of a suite of measures China is taking to enhance its intelligence gathering capabilities in multiple domains \u2014 a means by which it can monitor Taiwan\u2019s military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other measures include cyberattacks aimed at stealing data as well as \u201cirregular patrols of reconnaissance aircrafts as well as UAVs,\u201d according to Taiwan\u2019s report. The surveillance nature of these flights can be seen in their makeup, which comprise of airborne early warning, electronic warfare, maritime patrol and signals intelligence aircraft, per Taiwan\u2019s Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry has issued daily reports of Chinese military aircraft it detects in the southwestern corner of its air defense identification zone since September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country\u2019s defense report said these flights, which \u201ctrespass\u201d into the air defense identification zone, also serve to test and harass Taiwan\u2019s awareness and air defense response, compressing its reaction time and space for maneuver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan also accused China of using electronic intelligence-gathering ships and oceanographic research vessels in the Taiwan Strait and waters around the island to \u201cstrengthen its capabilities of battlefield management and sea control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These military encroachments are part of \u201chighly diversified and orchestrated\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2021\/03\/26\/taiwan-releases-new-defense-review-aimed-at-countering-chinese-tactics\/\" target=\"_blank\">military and nonmilitary activities in the gray zone<\/a>, which the report described as exploiting \u201cthe limbo between peace and war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonmilitary activity includes Chinese speedboats ramming Taiwanese Coast Guard vessels, and Chinese sand pump dredgers illegally operating in the waters off Taiwan \u2014 something the self-governing island\u2019s government previously complained about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other measures include cyberattacks aimed at stealing data as well as \u201cirregular patrols of reconnaissance
