China sent warships and a large group of fighter jets toward Taiwan, continuing its military pressure on the island, Taiwan’s defense ministry said Thursday.

Self-ruled Taiwan, which the Chinese communist regime claims as its territory, has repeatedly complained of Chinese military activity near it over the past three years, as Beijing intensifies pressure to try to force the island to accept its sovereignty.
