Taipei, Taiwan: Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) has spoken out against China and Russia for creating problems in the Asia-Pacific region. On Friday, they pointed out that Chinese military actions in the Taiwan Strait are causing worries. Earlier this week, China and Russia conducted joint military activities that crossed into South Korea’s air defence zone, making the situation even more serious.
On Thursday and Friday, Chinese warplanes entered Taiwan’s airspace, crossing a line that usually separates the two sides. This included 30 aircraft, 15 naval vessels, and three high-altitude balloons. The Chinese military also carried out a patrol that aimed at Taiwan, which increased tensions in a region that is already tense.
In addition, China and Russia sent a group of 11 warplanes into South Korea’s defence zone on Friday, which led South Korea to send its jets to respond. This group included five Chinese and six Russian planes, which flew over the Sea of Japan and near South Korea’s coast. According to South Korean officials, Russian planes came from the northeast, while Chinese planes entered the area near a spot called Ieodo Rock before heading north.
The MAC strongly criticized these actions, stating that they show how the Chinese Communist Party causes instability in the Taiwan Strait and the wider Asia-Pacific area. The council condemned both countries for making the region less safe and referred to their actions as careless. The Taiwanese government reaffirmed its commitment to protecting regional security, denouncing the provocative steps taken by China and Russia.
