TAIPEI: Taiwan accused China of exaggeration and “tricks” on Tuesday (Aug 16) after the Chinese military published video of the strategically located Penghu islands where there is really a major Taiwanese air flow base.
China, which promises Taiwan as its area, has carried out military exercises across the island this 30 days after a visit by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was accompanied by five US lawmakers on Sunday and Monday.
The Chinese military unit responsible for the location adjacent to Taiwan, the particular People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theatre Control, released on Mon a video of the Penghu islands, apparently used by a Chinese air flow force aircraft end.
Taiwan Atmosphere Force vice main of staff with regard to operations Tung Pei-lun told reporters within Taipei that this was Chinese information warfare, though he said he had no discuss who had used the video.
“China used the exaggerated techniques of cognitive warfare to show how close up it was to Penghu – which is incorrect, ” Tung mentioned.
Taiwan’s protection ministry on Monday, in an update associated with Chinese air pressure activity near Taiwan, showed on a map that the closest Chinese language aircraft to Penghu that day were four J-16 practitioners.
The practitioners crossed the Taiwan Strait median series – normally a good unofficial barrier between the two sides — but stayed closer to the Chinese coastline than Penghu, the particular map showed.
