Taiwan's Defense Ministry reported spotting a Chinese balloon over the sea, the first since April, along with increased military activity in the region.
Taiwan describes the balloons as 'grey-zone' harassment, a maneuver falling short of an act of war, while China claims they are for meteorological purposes.
In the lead-up to Taiwan's January presidential election, officials noted that Chinese balloon activity has occurred at an 'unprecedented scale' recently.
