Taiwan detects 11 Chinese military aircraft, 11 ships around its territory
Taiwan's Ministry of Defense has said it has detected 11 Chinese aircraft, 10 naval vessels, and one official ship between 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, media reports said.
Seven of the aircraft reportedly crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the nation’s northern, central, and southwestern air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, reported Taiwan News.
Taiwan responded to the situation and sent aircraft and naval ships and deployed coastal-based missile systems to monitor Chinese activity.
What is the basis of China’s claim ovCer Taiwan?
The basis of China’s claim over Taiwan dates back to 1945 when Japan lost its control over the island in 1945,post-World War Two.
The 1949 Chinese civil war lead to communists taking control and Chiang Kai-shek the one who lost fled to Taiwan. He ruled it for many decades.
This is where China’s claim to Taiwan emanates. The very fact that Chiang Kai-shek came to Taiwan and was not indigenous to the place is Taiwan’s argument against the claim.
