TAIPEI—Taiwan said 35 Chinese warplanes were detected around the island on Wednesday, with some then flying to join the Shandong
Beijing, which views self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory to be seized one day, has stepped up military and political pressure on the island in recent years as relations deteriorate.
Chinese aircraft including fighters and drones were then tracked around the island from Wednesday morning, Taipei’s defence ministry said. Taipei’s Ministry of Defence on Wednesday released an undated photo showing the Shandong being monitored by a Taiwanese Keelung class warship. On Saturday, China said its troops were “on constant high alert” after two ships belonging to the United States and Canada sailed through the Taiwan Strait.
