A picture of two Chinese balloons, one of which was directly above the island, crossing the middle line the day before was likewise released by the department on Saturday.
It continued,” The main goal of the recent balloon detection is “grey area” harassment in an effort to use cognitive warfare to lower our people’s morale.”
According to many experts, China is treating Taiwan with its near-daily display of military force around the area, which is what “grey area” tactics refer to aggressive actions taken by a state that refrain from empty warfare.
To ensure journey safety in the area, we call for an instant end to this practice, according to the government.
The statement is made one year before Taiwan’s presidential election, which, depending on the outcome, will determine how the island may interact with Beijing in the future.
China has cut off all high-level connections with her government since the election of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in 2016 because she does not recognize Beijing’s dominance over the area.
