After suspicions that China & Russia might both be attacking undersea communications cables, Taiwan reports it caught a Chinese ship in the act of curing a cable, although its seems unclear whether it was deliberate.

It seem likely that both Russia & China have identified these cables as a key weakness in the West's communications networks ripe for disruption.
