From Friday to Sunday, the Chinese Navy and Air Force took part in the exercises. According to the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense, Chinese bombers, fighter jets and anti-submarine aircraft have joined the exercise.
“For the past two years, Taiwan has been complaining about regular Chinese military activity, mostly concentrated in the southern and southwestern parts of the island’s anti-aircraft identification zone,” the newspaper said.
Reuters notes that China has never given up the opportunity to use force to bring democratic Taiwan back under its control.
“The Taiwanese government rejects Chinese allegations of sovereignty, claiming that only 23 million people on the island can decide its future,” the statement said.
It is also noted that Taiwan has increased its military readiness since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
