Taiwan Calls for End to China's Provocative Military Actions

Taiwan has called on China to cease its "destructive, unilateral action" after reporting a significant increase in Chinese military activities near the island. The Taiwanese defense ministry detected 103 Chinese military aircraft over the sea in a 24-hour period, marking a recent high. China's actions, including fighter jets crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait, are seen as harassment and a potential escalation of tensions. Taiwan has urged Beijing to take responsibility and halt such activities, emphasizing that peace and stability in the region are the shared responsibility of all parties.

China warns Europe as Taiwan's foreign minister visits.

China has warned Europe against having any official exchanges with Taiwan or supporting "independence forces" ahead of Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu's planned trip to the continent next week. Taiwan, which is claimed by China, has no formal diplomatic ties with any European country except the Vatican. Beijing views Taiwan as being part of "one China" and demands other countries recognise its sovereignty claims, which Taiwan's democratically-elected government rejects.
