- Taiwan recently claimed that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is using an ‘anaconda strategy’ to squeeze the island nation.
- “Slowly, but surely” China is enhancing its military presence around Taiwan.
- The 'Anaconda Plan' refers to a military strategy proposed by Union General Winfield Scott during the early stages of the American Civil War.
- The primary objective of this strategy was to suffocate the Confederacy economically and militarily, similar to how an anaconda snake coils around and asphyxiates its prey.
- There has been a steady increase in the number of ships China operates around Taiwan, from 142 at the beginning of the year to 282 in August.
