The PRC missile tests in 1995 and 1996 are examples. Quasi-military conflict may also take the form of blockade. For example the PRC could blockade the shipment of supplies to Taiwan's off shore islands, cutting them off but not initiating the fighting. Or it could attempt to blockade Taiwan itself, cutting off Taiwan's external trade links either through long-distance blockade or close-in blockade.
「準軍事衝突」為軍事威脅，形式可能是軍事演習，一九九五年至一九九六年中共的導彈試射便為一例；也可能是「封鎖」：封鎖我方外島對外運補，圍而不打，或對台灣本島施以遠距或近接兩種封鎖形式，切斷對外貿易交通。
