台湾海峡平均深度为100米,宽度为180公里,深度从60米到200米不等。
最浅的区域出现在台湾西海岸和中国东部沿海地区。
该海峡的中等深度限制了军事行动。潜艇在此处运作有效,但大型水面舰艇需要谨慎航行。台湾(74个追踪信号)和中国(54个追踪信号)在这些水域维持持续的海事监视,使其成为全球监控最严密的海上通道之一。
The strait remains a flashpoint for regional competition. Recent espionage cases, including the FBI arrest of a woman accused of spying on Taiwan's leadership for China, reflect broader intelligence operations surrounding strait security. The waterway handles approximately one third of global maritime trade, adding economic weight to its geopolitical importance.
