China Sends Warplanes Near Taiwan After US Rejects Strait Claims
Cindy Wang - 2h ago
(Bloomberg) -- China sent its third-largest sortie of warplanes toward Taiwan this year, after the US rejected Chinese claims over the Taiwan Strait and reports of arms sales talks with Taipei in Washington.
Twenty-nine Chinese aircraft, including six H-6 bombers and an electronic intelligence gathering plane, entered Taiwan’s southwestern air defense identification zone Tuesday, according to a tweet from the Ministry of National Defense in Taipei.
Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu wrote on Twitter that the latest incursion showed China’s military threat was “more serious than ever.”
“But there’s no way #Taiwan will cave in & surrender its sovereignty & democracy to the big bully,” he added.
