Taiwan says boost in defense spending coming amid China threats

Taiwan's air force resumed flights of locally made Brave Eagle training jets on March 5 after grounding them for safety checks in February following a crash on February 15.
The crash involved dual engine failure, and efforts continue to search for flight recorders to clarify the cause.
Taiwan relies heavily on U.S. Arms sales to enhance its security against potential threats from China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
China has increased military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, conducting fighter jet and warship incursions, which experts describe as grey-zone tactics against the island's armed forces.
