Quick Glance: Taiwan Reports Significant Chinese Military Activity Post-Election
  • Taiwan’s defence ministry detected 18 Chinese air force planes engaged in 'joint combat readiness patrols' with Chinese warships around Taiwan after the recent election.

  • China, claiming Taiwan as its territory, has regularly dispatched warplanes and warships near the island to assert sovereignty claims rejected by Taipei.

  • The election saw Taiwan voting for Democratic Progressive Party's Lai Ching-te as the next president, a figure labeled by Beijing as a dangerous separatist.

  • On Wednesday around 7:50 p.m. (1150 GMT), Taiwan's defence ministry observed 18 aircraft, including Su-30 fighters, operating near northern and central Taiwan and the southwest of the island. Half of these planes crossed the Taiwan Strait's median line or nearby areas, collaborating with Chinese warships in 'joint combat readiness patrols', according to the ministry.

  • The island's Foreign Ministry urges Beijing authorities in a statement to respect the election results, face reality, and give up suppressing Taiwan to bring positive interactions between both sides back on track.
