Taiwanese prosecutors made a significant move on Friday by formally charging a Chinese ship captain with deliberately damaging undersea cables near the island in February. This unprecedented action follows a series of incidents involving disruptions to vital communication infrastructure in the region.

The damaged undersea cables have caused widespread concern as they play a crucial role in facilitating internet connectivity and communication networks between Taiwan and the rest of the world. The incident in February raised alarms about potential threats to national security and the need to safeguard critical infrastructure.

In response to the charges, Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his views on the matter. He emphasized the importance of upholding international laws and agreements to ensure the safety and security of undersea cables, which are essential for global connectivity. Khatri also highlighted the need for cooperation among nations to address such incidents and prevent future disruptions to undersea communication networks.
