Taiwan says China’s military has upped the threat level against it as People’s Liberation Army (PLA) planes pressed ahead with their largest ever drills surrounding the island, following Thursday’s ultra-provocative launch of eleven ballistic missiles in area waters, some of which were reported to have flown over the island and population of some 23 million.
On Saturday Taiwan’s defense ministry said it observed Chinese planes and ships conducting attack simulation exercises while operating in the Taiwan Strait. “Multiple batches of Chinese communist planes and ships conducting activities around the Taiwan strait, some of which crossed the median line,” it said in a statement.
Days ago Chinese state media said the median line – which forms an unofficial border, the other side of which includes Taiwan-claimed waters – has ceased to exist. Government mouthpiece Global Times had also cast the drills as rehearsal for a “reunification operation”.
