Taiwan's defence spending this year will focus on preparing weapons and equipment for a 'total blockade' by China, including parts for F-16 fighters and replenishing weapons, the military said in a report.
In an update on its threat assessment from China, the ministry said China's military has been conducting joint force operations with an eye to controlling strategic choke points and denying access to foreign forces.
Taiwan's defence ministry said China has systematically increased the strength of its "joint combat readiness" actions around Taiwan. China has been "normalising" no-navigation zones around the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Taiwan Strait, the ministry added.
