Taiwan's Defence Ministry reported detecting 153 Chinese warplanes during a major military exercise, highlighting the escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait which poses serious security concerns.
President Lai Ching-te firmly stated that Taiwan 'is not [a] subordinate' to China, emphasizing that Beijing 'does not have the right to represent Taiwan,' reaffirming Taiwan's sovereignty.
Beijing issued a 'stern warning' via military exercises, claiming it will 'settle the Taiwan issue once and for all,' escalating the pressure on Taiwan's independence.
Military analysts labeled the recent joint exercises by China as 'highly dangerous,' cautioning that increasing proximity between Taipei and Beijing shortens response times and raises the risk of conflict.
