China-Taiwan News / Then China took provocative action, know what it did with Taiwan now?

China-Taiwan News: China has sent 14 warships, seven military aircraft and four balloons near the island as part of a strategy to put pressure on Taiwan over its claims. This information has been given by the Taiwan Defense Ministry. This development has come to light at a time when Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has completed a visit to the US and allies in the Pacific region. There was already speculation about this visit that China could respond to it with military activities.

China's claim on Taiwan

China considers Taiwan as part of its sovereignty. This self-governing island with a population of 23 million has been operating itself as an independent regime since the Chinese Civil War of 1949. However, China opposes official relations of other countries with Taiwan.

Most countries, including the US, have not officially recognized Taiwan, but the US informally supports Taiwan. It provides arms to it as well as diplomatic and economic support. China has made it clear that if necessary, it will take control of Taiwan through military force.

Taiwan's Defense Ministry Report

Taiwan's Defense Ministry shared details of China's military activities within 24 hours from Saturday morning. The ministry reported that 14 warships, seven military aircraft and four balloons were seen near Taiwan. Six of these aircraft crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait, which is considered the unofficial border between Taiwan and China.

According to the report, one balloon was found passing through the northern region of Taiwan. These incidents are part of China's strategy to constantly increase its military presence near the island.

Increase in tension

Tensions between Taiwan and China have increased steadily in recent years. China has intensified its military activities in Taiwan's sea and airspace. China's warplanes and ships often conduct military exercises near Taiwan, increasing instability in the region.

This latest action by China after the visit of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te reflects its tough stance towards the island. It is clear that China is aggressively pursuing its strategy to weaken Taiwan's support on the international stage and isolate it.

International response

The growing tension between China and Taiwan is raising concerns globally. The US and its allies are constantly supporting Taiwan, while China sees it as interference in its internal affairs.

In this situation, Taiwan needs to strengthen its security and maintain international support. On the other hand, China's stance is clear that it will not back down from its claim. This dispute can become a challenge to geopolitical stability in the Asia-Pacific region in the times to come.
