Story summary

G7 Foreign Ministers warned that China's increasing military activities east of Taiwan threaten regional stability and freedom of navigation. In a joint declaration published after their meeting in Paris on November 11, 2026, the ministers stressed opposition to any unilateral attempts to alter the status quo through force or coercion. China has intensified its presence with regular coast guard patrols since June and is reportedly conducting "area denial" drills involving an aircraft carrier and naval formations, according to Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo. Taiwanese officials suspect these exercises could be preparation for a potential maritime blockade using various military assets. The G7 statement emphasized the importance of maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait, while China views Taiwan as its own territory and does not recognize any claims of sovereignty by Taiwan.
