China-Taiwan Tensions: After the visit of the President of Taiwan to the US, the Chinese army, in a show of strength, once again sent dozens of fighter jets and 11 warships toward Taiwan. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry gave this information on Monday. Let us tell that the Chinese government claims that Taiwan is part of its national territory, while the current government of Taiwan says that this self-governing island is already sovereign and is not a part of China.

China’s army had announced a three-day patrol

The Chinese army had earlier announced three-day patrolling to prepare for the battle. This action has been taken at a time when, despite China’s aggressive attitude, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, hosted Taiwan’s President Sai Ing-wen in California, USA. A delegation from the US Congress in Taiwan also met Tsai over the weekend after her return.

According to an agreement between China and Taiwan, it is an informal border. The aircraft that crossed the center line included eight J-16 fighter jets, four J-1 fighter jets, eight Su-30 fighter jets, and reconnaissance aircraft.
