"Taiwan Reports Increased Chinese Military Pressure Amid US-China Talks"

China escalated military pressure on Taiwan by sending over 30 warplanes and six navy vessels toward the island, coinciding with the announcement of upcoming talks between the U.S. and China. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army's actions come amidst heightened tensions over Taiwan's political activities and the election of a new president who campaigned on self-determination and a rejection of China's threats. The U.S. and China are expected to meet in Bangkok to discuss Taiwan, U.S.-China relations, and international concerns, including tensions in the Red Sea.
