TAIPEI - China is stepping up military preparedness to overtake Taiwan, the island’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Wednesday, following a recent spike of Chinese drills near the island which Beijing considers its own.
“Looking on the long-term trend, China appears to be gradually stepping up its military preparedness, especially in air or on the waters near Taiwan,” Wu told reporters.“The threat is on the rise.” Wu said such intrusions “happened almost every day” in June and were “much more frequent” than what the government had disclosed to the public. He said China has also made several “simulated” military attacks on Taiwan.
