Does China continue to increase the level of military pressure on Taiwan?
[기자]Taiwan’s Defense Ministry announced last week that Chinese military aircraft invaded Taiwan’s air defense identification zone more than 20 times in just two days.
During the past two days, on the 9th and 10th, Chinese fighter and transport aircraft flew more than 30 times in the airspace of southwest Taiwan, of which 21 times entered the Taiwan Air Defense Identification Zone.
This threatening military exercise by the Chinese military is interpreted as a warning that Taiwan, with the support of the United States, has launched a new missile test in eastern waters.
The Taiwanese Defense Ministry harshly criticized China’s harsh provocations and protested against overlooking Taiwan’s willingness to defend liberal democracy.
Meanwhile, it is noted that two Chinese aircraft carriers, which are currently known to be training in the East China Seas, may be trained near Taiwan later this month.
The Global Times newspaper, a Chinese news agency, said Taiwanese forces are preparing for the possibility of Chinese carriers Liaoning and Shandong holding joint exercises around the island of Taiwan around the 22nd.
This Global Times report cites the Taiwanese media, which is the first time that a joint training of two Chinese carriers has taken place, and if it takes place in Taiwan, the level of response from the United States is expected to increase. .
[앵커]The United States is also firm on the issue of Taiwan, how is it coming out?
[기자]The United States will begin training for the so-called ‘brave shield’ in which the Indo-Pacific Command mobilized aircraft carriers in the waters around the island of Guam from tomorrow until the 25th.
If, according to the observation of the Taiwanese army, two Chinese aircraft carriers are to be surrounded by Taiwan on the 22nd, it will take place during the training of the US army.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet Command says the training will involve Ronald Reagan carriers, destroyers, 100 military aircraft and more than 11,000 soldiers at sea near Guam and Mariana.
In particular, he said that the exercise was to demonstrate the United States’ strong commitment to the Indo-Pacific, which is free and open to neighboring countries, and made it clear that this exercise was intended to contain the activities of the Chinese military in the South China Sea and around Taiwan.
The United States is also reportedly sending the Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs to Taiwan this week, followed by Health and Welfare Minister Alix Aiza last month.
Through this visit, the US is expected to mainly discuss cooperation with Taiwan on the issue of global semiconductor supply and the field of fifth-generation mobile communications.
It is observed that the economic cooperation between the United States and Taiwan takes place as a strategy to exclude China from the global supply chain.
