Those detections followed the January 13 presidential election won by current Vice President Lai Ching-te, whom Beijing dislikes. The incident occurred against a backdrop of growing tensions between China and Taiwan, a self-ruled island that Beijing claims as part of its territory to be seized one day, by force if necessary.
