Nine Chinese aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait carrying out combat readiness patrols, Taiwan's defense ministry said, condemning what it called an ‘irrational’ deployment
China, which claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory despite the strong objections of the island's government, has been angered by what it sees as stepped up U.S. support for Taiwan.She is expected to meet McCarthy in Los Angeles on her way back to Taipei in April, and China on Wednesday threatened unspecified retaliation if that meeting were to go ahead.
Tsai, on her first U.S. stopover since 2019, told an event held by the Hudson Institute think tank in New York on Thursday that the blame for rising tensions lay with China, according to excerpts of her comments reported by her office. The Taiwan official said China was unlikely to repeat such large exercises as it was in the middle of a "charm offensive" towards foreign political and business leaders, and an escalation of military tension would send "conflicting messages" to the world.

Taiwan's president speaks to her island's safety on US stopTaiwan's president has addressed members of New York community in a stopover there. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's appearance in the U.S. is angering China, which warned Thursday it was watching her travel closely. Tsai spoke to Taiwanese in New York to thank the U.S. for its security assistance. She said, “the safer Taiwan is, the safer the world will be.” China considers self-ruled Taiwan as its territory, and objects to any official interaction between the U.S. and Taiwan. Tsai and other Taiwanese presidents term any stops in the U.S. as simply “transits.” Tsai is en route to Central America to shore up her island's allies there.
