China Deploys Large Fleet of Warships near Taiwan Amid Heightened Tensions
ai generated text
Recent developments in the Taiwan Strait suggest heightened tensions between China and Taiwan. Multiple sources, including Taiwan's defense ministry and reports from the region, have detected an increase in Chinese military activity near the island. A total of 14 Chinese warships were reported in the area, with China also restricting airspace off its mainland coast. This shows of force has been met with an alert from Taiwan's military, which has raised its alert level in response. China has expressed opposition to Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te's recent diplomatic engagements, including stops in Hawaii and Guam during a South Pacific tour.
To counter PLA activities, ROC Armed Forces have initiated combat readiness exercises and will closely monitor the situation.
No country, organization, or individual should underestimate the strong determination, firm will, and powerful capacity of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair.
Taiwan does not have a ministry of defence.
China will firmly defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Any unilateral, irrational acts of provocation could severely undermine peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and are unwelcome by the international community.
In response to these actions by the PLA, the Ministry of National Defence has initiated combat readiness drills, factoring in enemy threats, weather conditions and tactical positioning.
No matter how many military exercises, warships and aircraft China sends to coerce neighbouring countries, it cannot win the respect of any country.
I hope that all of our compatriots, no matter where you are, will make a joint commitment to continue to deepen our democracy and protect it.
No matter how many military drills China stages and how many ships and aircraft they dispatch to intimidate regional countries, China will not win the respect from any country.
It is better to open your hands than to clench your fists.
From the limited information available, the seven restricted airspaces are likely being used for two main purposes: missile testing and simulating no-fly zones, which represent a blocked airspace state.
