20 Chinese Communist Party warships continue to operate around Taiwan Strait, Taiwan military monitors closely.

The Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China stated that at 1:17 am today (10th), it detected a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) missile flying through the middle of Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). Additionally, from 6:00 am on the 9th to 6:00 am today (10th), a total of 11 CCP aircraft and 9 CCP vessels were detected, with a total of 20 CCP aircraft and vessels continuously conducting activities around the Taiwan Strait to disturb Taiwan.

In the early hours of today at 1:17 am, the CCP carried out a satellite launch mission with a carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan. The rocket’s flight path passed through the central part of Taiwan towards the Western Pacific direction, at an altitude outside the atmosphere, posing no threat to Taiwan. The national defense used a joint surveillance system to closely monitor the related activities and took appropriate precautions.

The Republic of China strongly rejects the CCP’s claim that Taiwan is an indivisible part of its territory. President Lai Ching-te recently pointed out that the CCP has not renounced the use of force to annex Taiwan. The biggest threat to Taiwan’s sovereignty, democracy, and self-determination comes from the CCP. Faced with such a serious challenge, as the President, his mission is to unite Taiwan regardless of ethnicity or order of arrival, as long as one identifies with Taiwan, one is a master of this country.
