Taiwan vows vigilance as Beijing releases detailed satellite imagery of island landmarks

Taiwan’s military has vowed to remain vigilant against mainland Chinese intelligence-gathering activities after Beijing released high-resolution satellite images of the island, raising concerns about its growing surveillance capabilities.“The defence ministry will not lower its vigilance at any time regarding all such satellite imagery and related intelligence collection directed at Taiwan,” Defence Minister Wellington Koo Li-hsiung told reporters on Tuesday.“We will also take appropriate early-warning and response measures, including the necessary concealment, mobility and dispersal measures, to ensure the operational security of the armed forces.”
