AFPPIX: Taiwan's defence ministry said Thursday that a Chinese anti-submarine helicopter and three warships had been detected around the self-ruled island, after President Tsai Ing-wen met US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in Los Angeles.
“1 PLA aircraft and 3 PLAN vessels around Taiwan were detected by 6 a.m. today,“ Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence said in a statement. “Armed Forces have monitored the situation and tasked CAP aircraft, Navy vessels, and land-based missile systems to respond to these activities,“ it added. The statement came after Tsai met McCarthy in California during a stopover on her way back from a trip to Guatemala and Belize, which are among Taiwan's only 13 diplomatic allies.Taipei’s Mainland Affairs Council, the island’s top China policy-making body, on Wednesday accused Beijing of “obstructing” trade in the Taiwan Strait with on-site inspections on cargo and passenger ships.
Chinese maritime authorities had earlier said they were stepping up patrols in the waters separating the island from mainland China without providing more details.“It is a clear violation of the cross-strait shipping agreement and maritime practice which will have a serious adverse impact on the normal traffic between the two sides.” - AFP
