Beijing insists self-ruled Taiwan is part of its territory and opposes any international recognition of the island's claim to be a sovereign nation.Taiwan said Friday it detected 41 Chinese military aircraft and ships around the island ahead of a Hawaii stopover by President Lai Ching-te, part of a Pacific tour that has sparked fury in Beijing.
That included 19 aircraft that took part in China's"joint combat readiness patrol" on Thursday evening and was the highest number in more than three weeks, according to an AFP tally of figures released daily by the ministry. "It can't be ruled out that there will be a relatively large-scale military exercise in response to Lai's visit," Su Tzu-yun, a military expert at Taiwan's Institute for National Defense and Security Research, told AFP.
He will stop briefly in Hawaii and the US territory of Guam to meet"old friends", as he visits Taiwan's three remaining allies in the Pacific.
