Taiwan's defense minister warns that the island has to be on alert this year for the Chinese military's ‘sudden entry’ into areas close to its territory amid the rising military tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait
He said the PLA might make a "sudden entry" into Taiwan's contiguous zone and get close to its territorial space, which the island defines as 12 nautical miles from its coastlines.
China last year staged unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan in reaction to a visit to the island by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He said the PLA sends about 10 planes or ships to areas near Taiwan a day. Some of them cross the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which normally serves as an unofficial buffer, on an almost daily basis, he added.
