Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence detected 10 Chinese military aircraft and six naval vessels near Taiwan between April 21 and 22. Eight aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line. In response, Taiwan deployed planes, naval ships, and air defence systems. China’s use of grey zone tactics has escalated since September 2020, with Taiwan tracking Chinese military activity frequently. Tensions rise over disputed waters around Kinmen, with China trespassing despite Taiwan’s established boundaries. Beijing’s refusal to acknowledge Taiwan’s territorial claims adds complexity to the situation, challenging the status quo.
