Taiwan condemns China's plan to hold a navy drill with Indonesia off the democratic island's east coast, saying Beijing seeks to create the 'false impression' that it has jurisdiction over the area. China claims Taiwan is part of its territory and insists it has authority over the waters surrounding the island, which Taipei rejects. The Chinese defense ministry said on Aug. 11, 2026 that one of its warships and an Indonesian frigate will conduct a 'passage exercise' east of Taiwan in mid-August to 'enhance the joint operational capabilities of the two navies' and 'jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.'
