Blinken concerned over China’s ‘provocative actions’ in Taiwan Strait<\/h3>\n

China’s plans to commission its most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, by 2025, has led to concerns in Taiwan about a military escalation.<\/p>\n

According to Taiwan’s defence ministry, the carrier is equipped with a catapult system, allowing for slicker takeoffs compared to China’s older carriers, the Liaoning and the Shandong.<\/p>\n

Under President Xi Jinping, China’s aggressive posturing towards Taiwan has escalated. China considers Taiwan a part of its territory and has made reunification a number one priority.<\/p>\n

The aircraft carrier’s launch is regarded as a major step in China’s military overhaul, aimed at building a “fully modern” force capable of rivalling the US military by 2027.<\/p>\n

Taiwan has warned its allies this development should be regarded as a new “major threat” by China.<\/p>\n

Recent incursions by China’s warships and planes followed the presence of the Shandong, China’s second aircraft carrier, 60 nautical miles southeast of Taiwan, heading into the Western Pacific.<\/p>\n

Increased military activity near Taiwan is regarded as a form of military harassment by Beijing, which has not ruled out the use of force to reunite Taiwan with the mainland.<\/p>\n

In response to China’s actions, Taiwan’s defence ministry said it will closely monitor Chinese movements and strengthen its defences. Major General Huang Wen-chi, assistant deputy chief of Taiwan’s General Staff for Intelligence, spoke of the expansion of Chinese military bases along the coastline facing Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Three airfields in Fujian province have been expanded, with the closest, Longtian, located 135 miles from Taiwan’s capital, Taipei.<\/p>\n

US and Canadian warships have also challenged China’s presence in the area.<\/p>\n

Taiwan’s Defence Ministry reported that 13 of the Chinese military aircraft had crossed the unofficial demarcation line, the median line of the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n

Major General Huang said between July and September there was a spike in the Chinese Communist Party’s exercises.<\/p>\n
