Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) reported another wave of Chinese military activity near its territory on Tuesday, marking a continued show of force by Beijing.

As of 6 a.m. local time, 12 Chinese military aircraft and seven naval vessels were detected operating around Taiwan. Of these, 10 aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait—an unofficial boundary once respected by both sides—and entered Taiwan’s northern, southwestern, and southeastern air defence identification zones (ADIZ).

Taiwanese forces responded by monitoring the situation and activating appropriate defence protocols.

This incursion follows similar activity the previous day, when five aircraft and nine vessels were spotted. Three of those aircraft also crossed into Taiwan’s ADIZ.

The frequent incursions are part of what analysts describe as China’s ongoing pressure campaign against Taiwan. Beijing views the self-governing island as part of its territory under the “One China” policy and has not ruled out military action to force reunification.

Taiwan, which has operated as a separate entity since 1949, rejects China’s sovereignty claims. The island’s defence ministry continues to highlight each breach, reinforcing its commitment to defend national sovereignty and maintain regional stability.

These repeated incidents have drawn international attention, especially as tensions rise in the broader Indo-Pacific region.

Taiwan’s military remains on high alert, responding to each PLA and PLAN movement with tracking and surveillance operations, while calling on Beijing to halt aggressive actions.
