According to the report of Taiwan‘s National Defence Academy, the Taiwan ministry detected 23 warship aircraft and 11 Chinese naval vessels from May 7th to 10th.
This recent Chinese incursion has escalated the tension between China and Taiwan, which attacks the sovereignty policy of Taiwan, which was liberated from China’s provincial regime long back.
According to a Taiwan Ministry report, seven PLAN (People’s Liberation Army Navy) vessels and four CCG (China Coast Guard) vessels were seen until 6 AM on Monday.
Taiwan was submitted by Japan in 1945 at the end of WW2 (World War II). Since then, it has been part of China as the ROC (Republic of China) until 1949, when Taiwan claimed to be sovereign.
However, China claimed Taiwan as a province and refused to have diplomatic or political relations with Taiwan. In reality, the PRC (People’s Republic of China) has no claim on Taiwan’s governance and falsely accuses it of being mainland China territory under its so-called “One China” principle. Meanwhile, the people of Taiwan claim themselves as sovereign nationalists of Taiwan, but few claim themselves as Chinese.
Quick History of Taiwan
In the recent democratic election in Taiwan, the DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) won the presidency in Taiwan’s legislature under the legislature of Lai Ching Te. It made them bagged the presidency in the legislature, though it lost majority seats in the legislation.
Further, it managed to claim the accolade of a separate nation independent of China’s territory. Since 1996, this party had three consecutive wins in the legislature for a four-year term of office in continuation.
Despite the victory, La Ching Te faced a tough challenge in implementing his policies after the DPP failed to secure an absolute majority in the 113-seat body.
The attack was motivated by the DPP’s trust in American power and Taipei’s (the capital of Taiwan) purchase of armaments from America. It raised the tension of China losing control over Taiwan.
Taiwan authority said on 7th May that 11 Chinese official vessels intruded into the prohibited area of Kinmen Island. On Thursday afternoon, seven more vessels, including maritime patrol and fisheries ships with three Chinese fisheries boats, entered. This group of ships was approximately 4 nautical miles close to Liaoluo Bay of Kinmen Island.
By May 10th, a few more dozen ships were detected, which attacked a military drill on the island coast of Taiwan. Beijing wants control over Taipei (the capital of Taiwan) and restricts the USA’s intrusion on selling arms to Taiwan. So, China had three days to dispose of the power of its liberation army over Taiwan. Now, this has become an indication of the knock of the Third World War.
