Xi Jinping has gone crazy: 28 Chinese fighter jets lay siege to Taiwan

Jakarta, Klinik Farma – China’s relations with Taiwan are becoming increasingly heated. Just recently, on Wednesday morning (09/13/2023), 28 Chinese Air Force aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense zone.

Taiwanese troops are said to be monitoring the situation. Including sending the Air Force’s own aircraft and activating the air defense system to respond to the Bamboo Curtain country’s attack.

The ministry also added that several Chinese aircraft crossed the Bashi Strait. It was previously reported that China will conduct exercises with the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong in the Pacific Ocean.

China’s naval maneuvers as well as carrier group exercises have irritated the United States (US), the source said. The US Navy itself, along with US and Canadian warships, passed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday.
