The Chinese regime sent a large number of military aircraft and warships toward Taiwan on March 17, a show of force that Beijing described as a response to the recent actions by the United States regarding the self-governed island, which the regime claims as its own.
Taipei condemned Beijing’s military maneuvers, accusing it of using excuses to intimidate the island. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense reported that the Chinese military carried out two combat readiness patrols in a single day, one in the morning and another in the afternoon.
