👉 Recent reporting indicated a significant escalation in tension between China and Taiwan with a multi-way military exercise seeing China rehearse the targeting of Taiwan. Chinese vessels conducted rehearsed combat operations to the East of Taiwan. As part of the military exercises China’s Fujian maritime safety administration launched a three-day special joint patrol and inspection operation in the central and northern parts of the Taiwan Strait that included moves to board ships. The move was rejected by Taiwan’s Transport Ministry’s Maritime and Ports Bureau who called on all commercial operators to ignore any such requests.
👉 Within the Black Sea, Russia has called on Western states to remove obstacles for Russian exports. Russia has continues to state that it is willing to withdraw from the Grain Deal unless its wishes are met. The deal is currently under 60-day extension with Turkey pushing for a 120 day extension. Russia has suggested that unless its conditions are met it will allow the deal to lapse and seek ways of trading out with the construct of the deal.
