Beijing reportedly conducted numerous naval and air exercises near the island in the last two weeks.
TAIPEI: The increased frequency of China’s military activities around Taiwan recently has raised the risk of events “getting out of hand” and sparking an accidental clash, the island’s defence minister said today.
Asked by reporters on the sidelines of parliament whether there was a risk of an accidental incident sparking a broader conflict given the frequency of the Chinese activities, Taiwan’s defence minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said, “This is something we are very worried about”. China has not commented about the drills around Taiwan, and its defence ministry has not responded to requests for comment.
But China has increasingly been flexing its muscles off Taiwan’s east coast, and generally displaying its ability to operate much further away from China’s own coastline.
