The Philippines has reported the discovery of Chinese sea glider drones in various locations, including the Taiwan Strait off Luzon and near Masbate, which were allegedly used for covert mapping and data collection related to underwater warfare. This revelation follows concerns raised by UK officials about the use of Chinese drones to survey critical national infrastructure, including National Grid substations and the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant. Between 2022 and 2024, Philippine fishermen found five of these suspicious drones, which were designed to gather sensitive data. The UK government has responded by banning electric cars with Chinese parts from military sites due to espionage fears.
