China’s launched military aircraft across the Taiwan Strait over the Taiwanese president’s meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
China views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, and has never renounced the use of force to keep the island under its control.“There is no place that China is going to tell me where I can go or who I can speak to.”
The People’s Liberation Army said it started the combat readiness patrols and “Joint Sword” exercises around Taiwan, having said earlier it would be holding them in the Taiwan Strait and to the north, south and east of Taiwan “as planned.” “This is a serious warning to the Taiwan independence separatist forces and external forces’ collusion and provocation, and it is a necessary action to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Chinese army’s Eastern Theater Command said in a statement.Speaker Kevin McCarthy met Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen in Los Angeles this week.REUTERS
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said that it spotted Chinese fighter jets and bombers, as well as nine Chinese ships, crossing the Taiwan Strait median line that serves as an unofficial barrier between the two countries.
