Taipei has condemned China's attempt to implement traffic control measures on shipping heading into the Taiwan Strait during Typhoon Dolphin. The Taiwanese government described the move as "ridiculous," stating that Beijing has no right to restrict maritime traffic in the area.
The Taiwan Strait is a critical shipping route, with numerous vessels passing through it daily. The implementation of traffic control measures during a typhoon could pose significant risks to maritime safety and potentially disrupt global supply chains. Taipei has urged China to respect international maritime laws and regulations, ensuring the safe passage of vessels through the strait.
