Recent reports indicate escalating military activity by China around Taiwan, with Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence detecting 16 Chinese military aircraft and six naval vessels operating near its waters. Notably, eight of the aircraft crossed the median line into Taiwan’s Air Defence Identification Zone. This increase in incursions highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions, as China continues to assert claims over Taiwan under its “One China” principle, despite Taiwan’s self-governance and strong public support for its independence. Taiwan’s proactive monitoring and public reporting of these activities underscore its commitment to national security and sovereignty amidst external pressures.
