## China takes no action during Taiwan’s election? National security official: “Silent intimidation,” like a robber hiding a gun in a trench coat pocket

An ISW report reveals the PLA conducted a “silent exercise” in the Western Pacific involving more than a hundred vessels. A national security official said it was “silent intimidation” aimed at the APEC summit and Taiwan’s 2026 local elections, intended to weaken Taiwanese confidence through cognitive warfare and rehearse cross-theater force integration to pressure the United States to withdraw from the First Island Chain.

Facts:
- The Washington think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in a report that the PLA recently launched a large-scale “silent exercise” in the Western Pacific without officially announcing it. By early November, more than 100 PLA Navy and China Coast Guard vessels had gathered and operated in the area.
- A national security official characterized the “silent exercise” as “silent intimidation,” saying it reflected a twofold calculation targeting the APEC diplomatic summit hosted by Shenzhen and Taiwan’s year-end 2026 local elections.
- The exercise followed a pattern of “substantial force buildup without an official name,” aiming to reduce friction with major countries on the eve of the APEC summit and avoid the strong international backlash that a high-profile announcement of military exercises against Taiwan could trigger.
- The deployment was unusual in that it coordinated the mobilization of surface combat forces from the three major coastal theaters—the eastern, northern and southern theaters—indicating that China is rehearsing the integration of dispersed regional fleets into a single mission for operations in distant waters.
- A national security official said the exercise included simulations of breaking through the island-chain defenses and attacking forces in other areas of the island chain, as well as the launch of submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles. The aim was comprehensive military suppression of the island chain.

- The recipient was specialist Thomas Iglesias, a member of the 3rd Infantry Regiment’s “Old Guard.”

The Executive Yuan approved amendments to the National Pension Act that would raise benefits to NT$5,000, but negotiations in the Legislative Yuan have stalled.

The standoff between the ruling and opposition camps is affecting the payment schedule.

- President Lai Ching-te said the government plans to raise the national pension to NT$5,000 a month starting in July, but people have yet to receive it because the relevant procedures in the Legislative Yuan have not been completed.
- Taiwan People’s Party caucus director Chen Chih-han posted a “caucus consensus” document on Facebook, accusing the DPP caucus of causing delays in national pension payments by not voting today.
- Under the amendments, the old-age pension A type, old-age basic guarantee pension, survivor pension and Indigenous peoples’ benefits would rise from NT$4,049 to NT$5,000 a month.
- Premier Cho Jung-tai said the amendments are guided by the principles of supporting people’s livelihoods, protecting vulnerable groups and taking the nation’s finances into account. An estimated 1.76 million people would benefit.
- Legislative Yuan Speaker Han Kuo-yu convened negotiations on draft amendments to some provisions of the National Pension Act, but the party caucuses remained unable to reach a consensus on the size of the benefit increase.
