Taiwan Reports Increased Chinese Military Activity Near Its TerritoryPreviousNext

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence reported increased Chinese military activity near its territory, detecting multiple sorties by PLA aircraft and vessels, with several crossing the median line into Taiwan's northern Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). Taiwan monitored and responded to these movements. China emphasizes its claim over Taiwan as part of its territory, urging the US to handle related issues prudently, while Taiwan maintains its distinct identity and operates independently.
