36 Chinese fighter jets, bombers fly near island: Taiwan defense ministry

China's military flew 36 fighter jets and bombers near Taiwan, the Taiwanese defence ministry announced, part of a long-running campaign of intimidation against the self-ruled island democracy that Beijing claims as part of its territory. Ten of the aircraft on Saturday flew across the median line in the Taiwan Strait that separates the island from the mainland, the ministry said. It said they included six Shenyang J-11 and four J-16 aircraft. Taiwan and China split in 1949 following a civil war that ended with the Communist Party in control of the mainland. The island never has been part of the People's Republic of China, but Beijing says it is obliged to unite with the mainland, by force if necessary. Chinese President Xi Jinping's government stepped up efforts this year to intimidate Taiwan. It has sent fighter planes and bombers to fly near the island and fired missiles into the sea. On Saturday, Taiwan's military also spotted four Chengdu J-10 fighters, a Y-8 antisubmarine ..

Taiwan won't back down in the face of aggressive threats from China, the president of the self-governing island democracy Tsai Ing-wen said Tuesday, comparing growing pressure from Beijing to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

China will not renounce use of force to unify Taiwan, warns Xi Jinping

As he is all set for a record 3rd five-year term in power and perhaps for life, President Xi Jinping on Sunday warned that China will not renounce the use of force to unify Taiwan with the mainland and vowed to advance the modernisation of the country's military to world-class standards to protect national sovereignty, security and developmental interests.

China's military threats will further divide both sides: Taiwan President

China's threats of military action against Taiwan are absolutely not an option and will only push our two sides further from each other," Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said Monday.
