US EditionTaiwan Accuses China of Carrying Out 'Provocative' Military Patrol Near Island
- Taiwan's defence ministry detected 21 Chinese military aircraft operating with warships in joint combat readiness patrols near Taiwan on June 6, 2025.
- This patrol occurred one day after a phone conversation between the leaders of China and the United States, during which the Chinese leader emphasized the need for the US to approach the Taiwan issue with caution.
- Taiwan condemned the patrol as highly provocative, noting it harassed regional airspace and seas, and described the acts as threatening regional stability and the status quo.
- Last month, President Lai Ching-te celebrated his first year in office and emphasized that the future of Taiwan is a matter for its citizens to determine. He also committed to enhancing the nation's military capabilities and increasing defence expenditures.
- The event highlights ongoing tensions since Lai took office and suggests continued pressure on Taiwan amid China's unresolved claims and the US legal commitment to Taiwan's defense.
