TAIPEI (HRNW) – Taiwan needs to be on alert for China s “over the top” military activities which are violating regional peace, Premier Su Tseng-chang said on Tuesday, after 56 Chinese aircraft flew into Taiwan s air defence zone on Monday, the highest ever.
Taiwan has reported 148 Chinese air force planes in the southern and southwestern part of its air defence zone over a four day period beginning on Friday, the same day China marked a key patriotic holiday, National Day.
China claims Taiwan as its own territory, which should be taken by force if necessary. Taiwan says they are an independent country and will defend their freedoms and democracy.
Taiwan calls China s repeated nearby military activities “grey zone” warfare, designed to both wear out Taiwan s forces by making them repeatedly scramble, and also to test Taiwan s responses.
