The announcement comes after China held large-scale military drills that formally ended Monday in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's transit visit last week to the United States. Tensions remain high and China sent warplanes flying toward Taiwan more than 200 times over the weekend, while its navy ships circled the self-ruled island.
China's Maritime Safety Administration has issued a warning for possible rocket debris in waters northeast of Taiwan, banning ships from entering the area on April 16. The announcement comes after China held large-scale military drills in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's transit visit to the United States. China sent warplanes flying toward Taiwan more than 200 times over the weekend, while its navy ships circled the self-ruled island. Taiwan protested China's notice to establish a control zone to "restrict flights" in parts of northern Taiwan from April 16-18, and was able to get China to reduce the flight ban time from three days to 27 minutes on the morning of April 16.
China's maritime safety agency has announced a ban on vessels from an area near Taiwan on Sunday due to the possibility of falling rocket debris. The move comes amid tension in the region over Chinese military exercises around Taiwan, and a reported no-fly zone in the same location. Japan has sought details from Beijing on the no-fly zone, which is said to be due to a falling object related to a launch vehicle. Taiwan's government confirmed the no-fly zone, which will affect around 33 flights, but said China had shortened the stipulation to just 27 minutes on Sunday morning after Taipei protested.
China's plan to set up a no-fly zone north of Taiwan on April 16 will affect around 33 flights, according to Taiwan's transport minister. The ban could add "less than one hour" of extra travel time to the affected flights as they will have to divert further south from their original routes. Taiwan said it had successfully urged China to drastically narrow its plan to close air space north of the island. The move follows days of intense military drills that China has staged around Taiwan in response to President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California last week.
