US EditionChina Resumes Military Flights Near Taiwan
Taiwan detected 26 Chinese military aircraft and seven naval vessels near its air defense zone after a two-week break amid analysts' theories on Beijing's strategic motives.
- Taiwan's defence ministry reported 26 Chinese military aircraft around the island on Sunday, ending an unexplained two-week absence of large-scale activity in the Taiwan Strait.
- China's Taiwan Affairs Office criticized Taiwan President Lai Ching-te late Saturday for a speech on defence spending and democracy, warning that 'People like Lai Ching-te should not miscalculate; if they dare to take reckless risks, they will dig their own grave.'
- Of the 26 aircraft, 16 entered the central and southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone, while Seven naval ships were simultaneously spotted around the island.
- Taiwan Defence Minister Wellington Koo noted that Chinese warships remained active during the flight pause, stating the threat to the island had not gone away.
- Observers speculate the pause stemmed from Beijing recalibrating pressure ahead of President Donald Trump's planned visit to China from March 31, or from internal purges of senior Chinese generals.
