A small Taiwanese airline is stepping into the security arena, converting a light passenger aircraft into a high-tech surveillance platform to track China’s growing military presence around the island. As Beijing ramps up daily incursions, Taiwan is pushing “whole of society” defence, inviting civilian firms to support intelligence gathering, communications, and logistics. Apex Aviation’s U.S.-radar-equipped plane now monitors Chinese warships, testing the limits of private-sector involvement even as legal questions and safety risks grow. The move reflects rising pressure on Taiwan’s military, new threats from China’s grey-zone tactics, and Taipei’s scramble to innovate before it’s too late. #taiwan #china #apt
