: China flew 28 warplanes around Taiwan on Sunday, with most crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait for unspecified “long range” missions, Taipei authorities said.
China was conducting “missions such as long range exercises and training”, the defence ministry said in a statement, adding that it was monitoring the situation with patrol aircraft and ships. Last week, Taipei reported an increased number of incursions by Chinese warplanes and ships, after Beijing said its troops were on “high alert” following two ships belonging to the United States and Canada transiting through the Taiwan Strait this month.
Some of those planes and warships were heading to an unspecified area of the Western Pacific to “conduct joint sea and air training” with China’s Shandong aircraft carrier, the ministry said.
