Taiwan detects 30 Chinese military planes near island

TAIPEI – Taiwan said Wednesday 30 Chinese military aircraft were detected around the island in a 24-hour window — one of the highest daily numbers this year.

Taiwan’s armed forces “monitored the situation and employed aircraft, Navy vessels, and coastal missile systems in response to the detected activities”, it said in a statement. China deploys warplanes and naval vessels around Taiwan on a near-daily basis, and balloon flights over the island have also increased.

Taiwan was among the issues discussed by US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a call on Tuesday.
