On Monday, April 5, the Chinese armed forces held simultaneous military exercises west and east of Taiwan, CNN reported.
The Chinese military said that the aircraft carrier Liaoning is conducting exercises in the Taiwan area and called them regular exercises, which took place in accordance with the annual plan. The carrier group passed through the Miyako Strait between the Miyako Islands and Okinawa.
At the same time, at least 10 combat aircraft of the PRC army, including four J-10 and J-16 fighters, a Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft, entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone, the Taiwanese Defense Ministry said.
On Wednesday, April 7, China dispatched 15 combat aircraft to Taiwan.
The Ministry of Defense of Taiwan said that they are fully aware of the situation and respond appropriately to it.
The US Navy responded by passing the destroyer John S. McCain through the Taiwan Strait. This demonstrates the US commitment to freedom and openness in the Indo-Pacific region, according to Seventh Fleet spokesman Mark Langford.
REFERENCE… The Republic of China (Taiwan) is a state recognized by 17 countries. Before the defeat of the communist regime, Mao Tse Tung controlled the entire territory of China in the civil war. Since 1949, it controls only Taiwan and a few small islands. The PRC regards Taiwan as its province and declares its desire for “peaceful reunification.” Taiwan’s independence from China is supported by the United States and other Western countries.
