Taiwan denounces the presence of more than 100 Chinese military ships in the western Pacific

Taiwan reports over 100 Chinese military vessels in the western Pacific, coinciding with increased Chinese military flights near the island. Joseph Wu, Taiwan's National Security Council Secretary-General, shared a map showing the concentration of Chinese ships, primarily east of Taiwan and in the South China Sea. The Chinese Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier is part of this deployment, conducting military exercises. Taiwan remains vigilant, asserting it will not provoke but will not yield to pressure. Recent data indicates a surge in Chinese military aircraft near Taiwan, with 49 detected in one day, marking a significant increase compared to previous months. China views Taiwan as part of its territory and does not rule out forceful control, a stance rejected by Taiwan's government.
