world : Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) has said that it detected 30 Chinese military aircraft and 8 naval ships near its territory at 6 am (local time) on Wednesday and 6 am (local time) on Thursday. According to Taiwan’s MND, 19 Chinese military aircraft crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern, central, southwestern and southeastern air defense identification zones (ADIZ). In response to China’s actions, Taiwan sent aircraft and naval ships and deployed coastal-based missile systems to monitor China’s military activity, Taiwan News reported.
In a post on X, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) said, “30 PLA aircraft and 8 PLAN ships were detected around Taiwan as of 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 19 aircraft crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern, central, southwestern, and southeastern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded accordingly.” So far in July, Taiwan’s MND has detected Chinese military aircraft 65 times and naval ships 20 times. Since September 2020, China has intensified its use of grey zone tactics by increasing the number of military aircraft and naval ships operating around Taiwan. According to a Taiwan News report, the grey zone strategy is “an attempt or series of attempts to achieve one’s security objectives without the direct and large-scale use of force that goes beyond steady-state deterrence and reassurance.” This latest incident joins a series of similar provocations by China in recent months. China has increased its military activities around Taiwan, including regular air and naval incursions into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and military exercises near the island. Taiwan has been ruled independently from China since 1949. However, China considers Taiwan part of its territory and insists on eventual reunification, by force if necessary.
