00:00Taiwan's Cabinet has rolled out a series of amendments to better protect its undersea cables and pipelines.
00:23The Cabinet says the draft was prompted by cases of cable sabotage linked to China in recent years.
00:29It lays out punishments for sabotage and adds two preventative measures to existing laws.
00:35The first would allow authorities to seize vessels suspected of sabotage or loitering at commercial ports.
00:41The second would require all vessels transiting the Taiwan Strait to identify themselves through an automated system.
00:47The draft amendments would need legislative approval to become law.
