China recently carried out extensive military exercises around Taiwan, with a record number of fighter jets and warplanes involved in the one-day drills. The exercises, which included fighter jets, drones, warships, and Coast Guard vessels, simulated a blockade of Taiwan, drawing strong condemnation from the island's Defense Ministry.
During the 25-hour period between Monday and Tuesday, a total of 153 Chinese aircraft were detected around Taiwan. Of these, 111 warplanes crossed the Median Line into Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ), although none breached the sovereign airspace.
