Taiwanese national security officials have arrested a former Chinese Navy captain for sailing a speedboat into a Taipei harbor, amid concerns Beijing may be testing Taiwan’s maritime defences.

The speedboat pilot, identified by the surname of Ruan, said he was seeking freedom—a claim that Minister Kuan Bi-ling of the Ocean Affairs Council said will be probed thoroughly.
