The Defense Ministry reported on Monday that two Chinese military aircraft and four naval vessels were detected around Taiwan. Chinese military activity was monitored from 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. this morning.
Even during the Lunar New Year holiday, the military is still maintaining the security and defense of Taiwan, a necessity given that China has increased military pressure against Taiwan in recent years with warplanes and naval vessels operating in Taiwan’s surrounding waters and airspace on a nearly daily basis.
The ministry stated that air and naval patrols were deployed together with land-based missile systems to respond to the activities appropriately.
