STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSTAIPEI - China is bolstering its air power along the coast facing Taiwan with a permanent deployment of new fighters and drones at expanded air bases, Taiwan's defence ministry said on Tuesday in its annual report.
China staged war games around Taiwan in August of last year and again in April, and its forces operate around the island almost daily. "The Chinese communists have been completing the expansion of airfields along the coastline of its eastern and southern theatre commands, realigning new fighters and drones to be permanently stationed there," it said.
The ministry said that in the event there were clear signs of a Chinese invasion they could"preemptively strike its mobilising invasion forces" with precision weapons.
