These increasingly frequent and destabilizing actions are increasing tensions in the (Taiwan) Strait and threatening global security and prosperity.

We oppose any unilateral actions aimed at threatening such peace and stability, including through force or coercion.

Let us remind you
A few days ago, the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan stated that it had recorded 59 military aircraft and 23 ships of the People's Liberation Army of China near the island. Part of the aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which is traditionally regarded as an unofficial border between Taiwan and mainland China.
