Taiwan’s military has publicized an interception of People’s Republic of China (PRC) military aircraft that encroached on the contested East China Sea and Ryukyu Islands area near Taiwan. It marks the first time that Taiwan has released video footage of such interceptions, which have grown more frequent as Beijing continues to escalate its military maneuvers in the region.
“We are watching you,” Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said in a Facebook hashtag in a post on May 11 that included photos and a video of the Taiwanese Air Force’s encounter with a bomber and an electronic surveillance plane from the People’s Liberation Army.
