SHANGHAI, May 9 — China’s armed forces carried out another round of exercises near Taiwan last week to improve joint combat operations, the People’s Liberation Army said today, after the Chinese-claimed island reported a spike in activity.
Taiwan’s air force scrambled planes on Friday to warn away 18 Chinese aircraft that entered its air defence zone, and reported further incursions on Saturday and yesterday, though with fewer aircraft. Taiwan has raised its alert since Russia invaded Ukraine, wary of China making a similar move, though the government in Taipei has not reported any signs this is about to happen.
Taiwan also carried out pre-announced missile and other drills off its southern and southeastern coasts last week.
