TAIPEI (Bloomberg): Shipping in the Taiwan Strait showed signs of returning to normal, despite a lack of clarity over whether China’s military exercises around the island have ended.

More than 30 vessels have transited through China’s drill zone south of Taiwan’s main port since Sunday (Aug 7) according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, with the latest ship positions showing four of the total six zones being traversed.
