Taiwan reportedly claims China-linked ship damaged one of its submarine cables

Taiwanese authorities have asserted that a China-linked ship entered its waters and damaged a submarine cable.

Local media reports, and the Financial Times report that a vessel named Shunxing 39 called in the Taiwanese port of Keelung last Friday, and as it left damaged a submarine cable operated by Taiwanese carrier Chungwa Telecom as it steamed towards South Korea.

Chungwa Telecom has apparently said just four fibers were impacted, and its redundancy plans mean connectivity wasn’t disrupted.

Taiwanese media has quoted a local security expert who believes the incident was deliberate, and suggested the ship’s true owner is a Chinese national. Unnamed sources at Taiwan’s coast guard have reportedly supported that theory.

Rolling in the Deep: Flip the script and imagine if AI could tell politicians when they’re talking rubbish

Some of us fear the machines, but they’re our own creations, after all. Surely we can programme artificial intelligence to expose our own bullshit every time we’re tempted to vocalise it? Any malevolence that AI seeks to deploy would have been logically thought out by humans in the first place. Not so?
