China operates more than 90 ships in the Pacific region as of yesterday, down from over 100 earlier this week and surpassing its mass naval deployment in December last year, according to a Reuters report cited in an X post shared during the reporting window from 9:45 PM UTC on December 6 to 12:45 AM UTC on December 7, 2025. Three Chinese space tracking ships are currently spread out across the Pacific. The X post from user @vcdgf555, timestamped within the 3-hour period, references Reuters data describing the deployment as China's "largest maritime show of force to date." It includes a high-level visual with notes and sources confirming the presence of the space tracking vessels. Reuters reported the ship count at 90+ yesterday, noting the reduction from earlier highs this week. The post distinguishes the three space tracking ships operating separately across the Pacific.
