STORYLINE:
Taiwan military jets were seen landing at the Hsinchu Air Base on Wednesday.
It comes as Taiwan demanded that China end its ongoing military activity in nearby waters, which it said is unilaterally undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and disrupting international shipping and trade.
Taiwan defence officials say they have detected Chinese ships since Monday, both off Taiwan and farther out along the first-island chain.
They described the formation as two walls designed to demonstrate that the waters belong to China.
China restricted airspace off its southeast cost from Monday to Wednesday, as an indication that it was planning to hold drills, but the China’s People’s Liberation Army has not confirmed whether it is doing so.
Taiwan has been expecting drills following stops by its president, Lai Ching-te, in Hawaii and the U.S. territory of Guam during an overseas trip last week.
China claims self-governing Taiwan as its territory and opposes any official contact with America and other foreign governments.
A Chinese spokesperson didn’t comment directly on any military exercises but said in a statement posted online Wednesday that the government would not let provocations by Taiwan in collusion with external forces go unchecked.
