Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said on Dec. 8 that China has nearly doubled its number of warships around Taiwan in the past 24 hours. Fourteen ships were spotted near the island, up from eight the previous day. The ministry also reported four Chinese balloons flying over the Taiwan Strait, a narrow body of water between China and Taiwan.
The Chinese communist regime has already held two rounds of wargames around the democratically ruled island nation this year, and Taiwan’s security sources believe a third is coming.
