The tension between Taiwan and China appears to be reaching a serious level once again. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry has said that in recent hours, unusual movement of the Chinese army has been recorded in the sea and air areas around it. This activity is being considered as the biggest military presence in the last few months. According to Taiwan’s Defense Ministry, 34 military aircraft of China’s People’s Liberation Army and 11 warships of the People’s Liberation Army Navy were found active around Taiwan. Apart from this, an official Chinese ship was also seen in the area. This development has come to light at a time when the Taiwan Strait has already become a center of regional tension.
In the information given by Taiwan, it has been said that a large number of Chinese planes crossed the median line considered between Taiwan and China. These planes entered Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone or ADIZ, which the Taipei administration considers a direct provocation.
Chinese aircraft seen in Taiwan area
Chinese military aircraft were seen in the ADIZ areas located in the northern, central, southwestern and eastern parts of Taiwan. The median line has long been regarded as an informal border between the two sides, although China does not recognize it and continues to cross it. After these activities, Taiwan’s army became completely alert. The Defense Ministry said that the Air Force and Navy immediately started surveillance and response. The movements of Chinese aircraft and ships were continuously monitored through radar, electronic surveillance and radio systems.
Statement from Taiwan’s Defense Ministry
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said in its official statement that by morning, Chinese military presence was detected around Taiwan and all necessary steps were taken to control the situation. The ministry also made it clear that there will be no compromise with the country’s security. China considers Taiwan a part of its territory, while Taiwan describes itself as a separate and democratically governed country. Due to this fundamental difference, there has been tension between the two for decades and such military incidents keep coming to the fore from time to time.
