The Taiwanese government has come out to allege China is planning to attack the island, a day after China simulated “joint precision strikes” on Taiwan during military exercises around the island's waters.
Photos released by Japan Joint Chiefs appear to show the Chinese navy aircraft carrier Shandong launching jets in the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan during its current round of exercises around the island, in what would be the first time China has simulated strikes by aircraft carrier-based warplanes on Taiwan.
Beijing launched the drills on Saturday April 8, 2023, a day after Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a 10-day visit to Central America and the United States where she met US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other US lawmakers. The military drills ended on Tuesday.
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, April 12, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu condemned Beijing’s actions and warned that “they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan.”
“Look at the military exercises, and also their rhetoric, they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan,” Wu said.
“The Taiwanese government looks at the Chinese military threat as something that cannot be accepted and we condemn it.”
