12 NM territorial sea (green) is the de facto legal boundary. PLA aircraft/vessels crossing the median line does not trigger the right of self-defense; entry into the territorial sea or airspace within this boundary would, under international law and the Defense Act, allow Taiwan to take defensive action.
