Summary

Machine summary

On August 12, the PLA Navy replenishment ship Honghe and the Indonesian Navy frigate Rê completed a bilateral maritime passage exercise in waters east of Taiwan, running subjects including formation maneuvering, underway replenishment, and signal communications using tactical signal shorthand and signal flags. The exercise documents a concrete operational interaction between the PLAN and the Indonesian Navy in a stretch of water Beijing treats as politically sensitive, extending a pattern of PLA Navy bilateral drills that normalize third-country naval presence in the area. Whether the Indonesian side framed the location as politically significant, or treated it as open ocean, is not addressed in this report.
