Chinese naval ships and air force planes have been edging closer to Taiwan s territorial seas and skies, probing the island s vigilance and trying to wear down its military planes and ships. Chinese forces have also been operating more frequently in skies and waters off the island s eastern coast, facing the West Pacific. China s increasing presence there signals its intent to dominate an expanse of sea that could be vital for the island s defenses, including for securing potential aid from the United States in a conflict, experts say.
