Taiwan’s defense ministry says 28 Chinese warplanes have entered its territory.
China and Taiwan split in 1949 during the Civil War. But, as Taiwan is part of its country, China continues to claim. Since Tsai Ing-wen was elected President of Taiwan in 2016, China has been putting diplomatic and military pressure on the country. Since then, China has been sending daily warplanes to Taiwan, claiming to defend its sovereignty since last year. It had flown a maximum of 25 fighter jets last March.
In this context, the recent G7 summit in the United Kingdom stressed the need for a peaceful solution to the China-Taiwan waters issue.
Condemning this, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Chao Lijian said yesterday that the G7 countries were deliberately interfering in Chinese internal affairs. China is committed to safeguarding national sovereignty and development interests. China has sent warplanes to Taiwan.
“China has flown an all-time high of 28 warplanes in southwestern Taiwan’s air defense zone yesterday (June 15),” the Taiwan Defense Ministry said.
