China has deployed nearly 90 Navy and Coast Guard ships, two-thirds of which are warships. This is reported by Reuters on its website with reference to a high-ranking official of the Taiwanese security service, reports UNN.

There are about 90 ships of the Chinese navy and Coast Guard in the waters off Taiwan, the southern Japanese islands, the East China and South China Seas, about two-thirds of which are military vessels.

In response, the Taiwanese military set up emergency centers, as well as stepped up "combat readiness exercises" at strategic points. Taiwanese naval forces and Coast Guard boats will monitor Chinese ships.

Any unilateral, irrational and provocative actions can seriously affect peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and are not welcomed by the international community

- said the Ministry of defense of Taiwan.
