Earlier, the island’s green media reported on the morning of the 2nd that “PLA military aircraft entered the southwestern airspace of Taiwan for two consecutive days.”

The media said that after the PLA military aircraft intensively “disturbed Taiwan” in October, November also “invaded” southwestern Taiwan for two consecutive days. Airspace, today “the time is still around 6 am.”

Regarding the appearance of PLA military planes in the Taiwan Strait, the press spokesperson of the Eastern Theater Command, Zhang Chunhui, Air Force Colonel Zhang Chunhui once said on the naval and air force combat readiness cruise that Taiwan and its affiliated islands are a sacred and inalienable part of Chinese territory

Chinese military combat readiness cruise is completely legitimate and legal. It is a necessary action to be taken in response to the current security situation in the Taiwan Strait and the maintenance of national sovereignty. The theater troops are determined and capable of defeating all

“Taiwan independence” separatist activities, resolutely safeguarding national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and resolutely safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
