TAIWAN - 845 Chinese military aircraft (spotted every day of the month of August), and 186 People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels have been spotted around the island of Taiwan every day since August 6th.
Although China had been regularly sending aircraft into Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) previously, after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei on August 2nd, 2022, both military aircraft and vessels have been spotted around the island on a daily basis since the visit took place.
Taiwan's Ministry of Defense released a video, along with the following statements, along with the video of the press conference below: "Ministry of National Defense R.O.C. hosted an online international press conference on Military Exercises and Threats from PRC Against Taiwan in August 2022".
"PLA military drills and threats against Taiwan in August caused tensions to spike around Taiwan and gained global attention. Here we are today on an online press conference to talk about these threats from the PRC that challenged international order, jeopardized the status quo of Taiwan Strait, and put the surrounding region in danger."
