TAIPEI: Taiwan’s defence ministry said on Wednesday ( Jun 26 ) that China had carried out another” joint combat readiness patrol” near the island, as Beijing said it would track down and punish “diehard” independence supporters wherever they are.
China, which views Taiwan as its own place under a politically controlled regime, staged two days of war activities after taking office next month.
Last year, China threatened to execute , “diehard” Taiwan freedom separatists in severe cases, a more ramping up of conflicts that drew criticism from Lai and his state, as well as the United States.
Taiwan’s defence ministry said that starting at 7am on Wednesday, it had detected 26 Chinese military aircraft, including J- 16 soldiers, operating to the north, heart and north of Taiwan, carrying out a” combined combat readiness police” with Chinese ships.
Taiwan often makes reports of these missions, which is consistent with what it claims is ongoing ongoing Chinese harassment.
