BEIJING, April 8 – RIA Novosti. Taiwan’s armed forces recorded the approach of 71 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft on Saturday amid PLA military exercises taking place in the water area and airspace around the island, follows a statement from the Taiwanese Department of Defense. Earlier on Saturday, PLA Eastern Combat Command spokesman Shi Yi said the Chinese armed forces were conducting drills and patrols in the sea and airspace around Taiwan from 8 to April 10 in accordance with the combat training plan. The exercise is a warning to pro-Taiwan independence forces, he said, and a necessary measure to protect China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. “As of 4:00 p.m. (11:00 a.m. Moscow time) on April 8, 71 PLA planes and nine ships were discovered,” the agency said on Twitter. It is worth noting that 45 aircraft crossed the so-called middle line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the Taiwan Air Defense Identification Zone. The Eastern PLA combat command area, in turn, reported that on the first day of the exercise, the Chinese armed forces practiced maneuvers to seize supremacy at sea and in the air, fight patrols around the island, as well as to completely encircle and contain On the island, destroyers and frigates participated in the exercises of the PLA Navy, landing groups, fighters, bombers, aircraft PLA Air Force Specials, Artillery Brigades, Missile Troops. The situation around Taiwan worsened considerably after a visit to the island in early August last year by Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. China, which considers the island as one of its provinces, condemned Pelosi’s visit, seeing it as American support for Taiwanese separatism, and organized large-scale military exercises. Official relations between the PRC’s central government and its island province were severed in 1949 after Kuomintang forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, defeated in a civil war with the Chinese Communist Party, moved to Taiwan. Commercial and informal contacts between the island and mainland China resumed in the late 1980s. Since the early 1990s, the parties began to contact each other through non-governmental organizations – the Association of Beijing for the Development of Relations across the Taiwan Strait and the Taipei Cross-Strait Exchange Foundation.
