> Taipei has condemned China’s attempt to impose traffic controls on ships heading into the Taiwan Strait during Typhoon Dolphin as “ridiculous.” The authorities in Taipei said Beijing has no right to restrict access to international waters. The dispute centers on China’s proposed shipping restrictions during the storm. Taipei framed the measure as an unjustified limitation on navigation.
