This announcement came at a time when the Indo-Pacific region is witnessing escalating tension between the Chinese and Taiwanese sides, which has raised international concerns despite the absence of any violent military actions.

Around 150 Chinese planes have entered the Taiwanese airspace during a period of four days at the start of this month.

The Taiwanese Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that three Chinese combat airplanes (2 J-16s and an anti-submarine aircraft) violated its "air defense" zone again.
