Taiwan has reported a significant increase in Chinese military activity near its territory, with 13 Chinese aircraft and 7 vessels detected in the region. This latest incident has raised concerns about China’s intentions and its impact on regional security.
According to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, the Chinese aircraft included fighter jets and bombers, which were spotted in the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone. Additionally, 7 Chinese vessels, including warships and auxiliary ships, were detected in the waters surrounding Taiwan.
Taiwan has been on high alert in recent weeks due to China’s increased military activity in the region. China has been conducting large-scale military exercises near Taiwan, which has led to concerns about a potential invasion.
Taiwan’s military has vowed to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and has been working to strengthen its defenses in response to the growing threat from China. The United States has also expressed support for Taiwan, with President Joe Biden recently stating that the US would defend Taiwan if China were to invade.
The situation remains tense, with Taiwan and China having a long-standing dispute over Taiwan’s status. China claims Taiwan as its own territory, while Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state. The international community is closely watching the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
