China's actions risk creation of new status quo, Taiwan official says

Taiwan's coast guard chief warns China’s gradual "grey zone" maritime pressure — including regular coast guard patrols — could quietly change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait without a single dramatic incident.
Such creeping pressure might force shipping reroutes, higher insurance and greater strain on frontline personnel, while the world grows accustomed to incidents that "aren't yet a crisis."
The issue is drawing international attention: the US, UK, France and Germany have voiced concern, and US Senator Tammy Duckworth recently visited Taiwan.
