Taiwan’s Matsu Subsea Cables Cut

To our shame, we actually missed this last month—even AP didn’t—but China accidentally-on-purpose cut two subsea cables near Taiwan’s Matsu islands.

Cutting cables is not new and these incidents on their own might not mean much, but China running military exercises near Taiwan makes it more of a concern.

In the European theater, a cable south of France was cut as was one to Shetland in October 2022.
