While the war between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas is going on, tension is also increasing in Asia. China is threatening Taiwan. Taiwan said on Tuesday that 59 Chinese aircraft have come near its island. This is the first time since October last year when China has sent such a large number of aircraft towards Taiwan.
The incident occurred when Taiwan President Lai Ching-Tei called it a hostile foreign power. China claims that Taiwan is part of it and he will control the island, even if it has to use force for it.
China warns
Significantly, earlier on October 15, China sent 153 ships towards Taiwan. Then, just a few days after President Lai’s National Day speech, China conducted a large -scale military exercise. On Monday, China’s Foreign Ministry said that this is a strict warning for the forces that are deliberately colluding with Taiwan’s freedom. Taiwan may be small, but has the power to confront China, because America stands behind it. The US diplomatically does not recognize Taiwan, but reflects his support for safety.
China sent ships to scare Taiwan
China starts such a mission every day in the hope of Taiwan’s security and weakening of morale. However, most of the 23 million people in the island reject Taiwan’s claim of sovereignty on Taiwan. It is not clear what was the reason for sending such a large number of aircraft.
