Taiwan-China tension is increasing day by day. Incidents of Chinese aircraft infiltrating Taiwan's borders are not new. U.S. military activity has also increased amid Chinese military buildup in the region. That tension has recently reached new heights with multiple nuclear warship patrols in the Taipei Strait. The United States has announced that it will stand by Taiwan if China attacks. The situation has become more complicated.
Taipei has issued a stern warning to Beijing to prevent Chinese aircraft from entering Taiwan's border. In a statement, the head of the defense department of the autonomous region said that if Chinese planes or drones intrude again, they will be shot down to protect their own security. He has made it clear that he will not back down from going to war with China if necessary.
The head of Taiwan's defense department also said that warships will be built to counter the Chinese threat. He also confirmed that they will be added to the fleet by 2026. At the same time, it is also reported that a special type of warship will be made to destroy Chinese submarines.
Recently, Seoul has expressed concern over the increase in Chinese aircraft intrusions around the airspace of Japan and South Korea. They claim that Beijing is checking the opponent's ability to counterattack by infiltrating the aircraft.
