Summary: Since early 2025, China’s presence in the Indo-Pacific has become increasingly assertive. Activities have ranged from heightened maritime tensions to acting as a peacebroker for Myanmar’s junta. More recently, espionage efforts have targeted joint Philippine naval exercises with the US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The attacker—likely a China-nexus threat actor—relies heavily on DLL sideloading to compromise chosen targets. Governments and media remain prime targets due to their influence on policy, public perception, and global alignment.
