PLA Military Exercises near Taiwan; 28 Planes and Ships Harass Taiwan Within 40 Nautical Miles of Keelung

Reported 12 months ago

On June 29, 2024, the Chinese People's Liberation Army had frequent activities around Taiwan. The Ministry of National Defense reported that from the 28th to the 29th, a total of 23 PLA aircraft and 5 ships were spotted, surrounding Taiwan in a 'sandwiched' pattern. The Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson criticized the DPP government and pro-independence advocates. The PLA's harassment operations have been increasing, with 20 aircraft crossing the median line, coming as close as 40 nautical miles to Keelung in the north and 45 nautical miles to Eluanbi in the south. Experts suggest that U.S. RC-135W reconnaissance aircraft entering Taiwanese airspace indicates cooperation in defense areas.
