"As of 06:00 am on December 13, 29 aircraft and three ships of the People's Liberation Army of China were recorded around Taiwan," the statement said. Of the specified number, 21 Chinese aircraft approached Taiwan from the southwest of the Taiwan Strait. The published map of the Ministry of Defense shows that 1 Chinese J-11 Chinese fighter, two multi-purpose Y-8 transport planes, as well as 18 strategic H-6 strategic bombers were included in the identification zone.
The Taiwanese command sent an air and maritime patrol to monitor maneuvers and launched rocket launchers. It is worth noting that on December 11, 13 aircraft and 4 ships of Chinese Navy approached Taiwan. Six of the found bombers crossed the middle line of the Taiwanese Strait, which separates the island from China. Taiwan's government believes that China is looking for a reason to work out a future attack on the island.
The Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said in an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian. The Chinese military threat, according to it, becomes more serious. Since 2020, the number of invasions of Chinese combat aircraft into the Taiwan defense zone has increased 5 times. "We are absolutely sure that the Chinese will want to use any reason to work out future attacks on Taiwan. So we have a situation with military threats,"-said Wu.
China, as the minister noted, increases economic and diplomatic pressure on the island, conducts a series of cyberattacks and wages a "legal war" for Taiwan international isolation. Chinese officials on December 12 expressed a strong dissatisfaction and protest due to a visit to Taiwan by a high-ranking representative of the Governmental Liberal Democratic Party of Japan Kotya Hagium. "He made irresponsible statements to China.
Ignoring Beijing's position, he met with a local leader Tsi Inventory and the leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party, and made negative statements about China," said the Chinese Embassy representative in Japan. Recall that the US State Department involves the likelihood of China attack on Taiwan. The head of the PRC, Xi Jinping, should be kept as much as possible from such a step, the State Department noted. Taiwan Tai President is sure that Beijing can attack at any moment.
