Residents of the island can now receive a reward of thousands of dollars for information about Chinese warships or submarines operating at sea. Taiwan, which China considers part of its territory, is actively counteracting this, in particular by patrolling its waters.

The Taiwanese authorities explained that the introduction of this program is a necessary step, as the country has limited resources to ensure maritime security, and the “power of people” can greatly help in monitoring the situation. In recent years, China has significantly increased its military presence in the region, which is causing concern in Taiwan.
