Taipei authorities on Sunday claimed Chinese Warplanes to have crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait with more than 20 aircrafts entering the Taiwan air defence identification zone. Beijing has already declared Taiwan as China’s territory, souring its relations with the independent island country. Taiwan defence ministry said 68 Chinese aircraft and 10 naval vessels were detected in the region. In April, similar military exercises were conducted to stimulate the encirclement of the island with a detected record of 71 Chinese Warplanes in a 24-hour period. Chinese authorities have not officially commented regarding these military exercises on any drills being conducted in the Western Pacific.
