Asian Submarine Cables at Risk from China
A U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission report assesses that Beijing has developed capabilities to damage undersea cables connecting Asia and North America outside of direct military conflict. Damage to a single cable could disrupt communications to Taiwan, Japan, or the Philippines, while the global shortage of cable repair vessels would slow restoration.
Why it matters: U.S. government, telecommunications operators, and regional allies face growing risk to critical infrastructure; practitioners should monitor cable security posture and redundancy plans for Asia-Pacific routes.
