Taiwan says Chinese planes, ships crossed median line in Taiwan Strait

Chinese language plane and ships crossed the median line within the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, Taiwan’s protection ministry stated, persevering with the navy provocations that Beijing has performed for months and intensified after Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s go to to the island earlier this month. 

Taiwan detected 12 Chinese language planes and 5 ships working close to the road as Beijing continued to hold out navy drills close to the self-governed island.
