In the patrols and military exercises conducted by the Chinese military around Taiwan since the 8th, the Taiwanese side announced that a total of 70 aircraft, including Chinese fighter jets, were confirmed to be operating in the surrounding airspace. This is the second consecutive day that more than 70 aircraft have been confirmed, and it seems that the aim is to control Taiwan and the United States.
The Chinese military has been conducting patrols and military exercises around Taiwan for three days until the 10th, which is believed to be a response to the meeting between Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker McCarthy.
According to the state-run China Central Television, multiple units of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Rocket Forces conducted a simulation of a precision attack on important targets in Taiwan and surrounding waters under unified command on the 3th.
China Central Television reported footage of the exercises, but did not explain when or where they were filmed.
On the other hand, according to an announcement by Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense Japan, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on March 7, a total of 5 Chinese fighter jets and other aircraft operated in the airspace around Taiwan, and a total of 70 of them crossed the "median line" of the Taiwan Strait, which has been considered the boundary line to avoid accidental clashes between the two sides of Taiwan.
This is the second consecutive day that more than 35 Chinese fighter jets have been confirmed in the airspace around Taiwan, and it seems that the aim is to control Taiwan and the United States.
On the Cape of Fujian Province, which is closest to the main island of Taiwan
At the cape on Pingtan Island in Fujian Province, which is closest to the main island of Taiwan, many tourists could be seen strolling and taking pictures for the 9th, and the influence of the military exercises was not felt.
A woman who visited for sightseeing from Wuhan, Hubei Province, in the inland province, said, "I didn't know that the exercises were taking place, but I believe in my motherland, so I'm not worried."
A local man in his 30s said, "I learned about the exercise on my phone, and although it is not a real war, I am worried that something will happen in the future and it will affect me. Of course, we want to be at peace."
On the other hand, from the coast near Pingtan Island, on the morning of the 9th, two ships that looked like military ships carrying the Chinese flag could be seen, and cars that looked like military vehicles were also driving on the street.
