Taipei,
Taiwan is an island nation just 100 miles off the coast of southeastern China. It is an ally of America.
Taiwan broke away from China following fighting after World War II.
Taiwan is a sovereign independent country.
But China is trying to reclaim and dominate Taiwan. America stands as a great barrier to this like the Great Wall of China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has been clamoring for the reunification of Taiwan, and it must happen. He has already said that he is ready to take military action.
US support
If China were to re-annex Taiwan, it would free up its power in the Pacific region and pose a threat to US military bases as far away as Guam and Hawaii.
But America’s continuous support to Taiwan and leaders including Nancy Pelosi, who was the Speaker of the American Parliament, went to Taiwan after ignoring China’s opposition caused a great stir worldwide.
However, following that, last August, the Chinese army conducted major war exercises. China continues to threaten Taiwan like this.
Combativeness
In this situation, Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense released information yesterday that China has sent 39 warplanes and 3 warships to Taiwan in the last 24 hours in an environment that is being affected by the rising wave of corona virus and has shaken the world stage.
30 Chinese warplanes have crossed the middle of the Taiwan Strait from 6 am yesterday on Wednesday morning. It is accepted by both sides as the official boundary.
According to reports, the warplanes sent by China include 21 J-16 fighter jets, 4 H-6 bombers and 2 early warning planes. Taiwan said it had tracked the attack through its land-based missile systems and its naval vessels. China’s aggression has created a belligerent atmosphere in Taiwan.
