> That area is saturated in complex radar. Diego Garcia houses complex radar and satellite communications systems and who knows what else that is still classified. Taiwan has a radar system that has a range of 5500km [0]. It was originally developed by the US in the 80s. Note that even though Taiwan is ~2500km from the last known position, it only provides 270 degree coverage. I'd assume they are firmly pointing at China and Korea, however from Diego Garcia the last known position and suspected locations are right in the field of view if looking towards China and Korea.
