Dozens of Chinese warplanes detected around Taiwan

Taiwan’s defense ministry reported detecting 62 Chinese military aircraft around the island in the past 24 hours. This comes amid heightened tensions following the inauguration of Taiwan’s new leader, Lai Ching-te, whom Beijing considers a separatist. China has increased pressure on Taiwan, including recent war games. Additionally, a Taiwanese fishing boat was seized by Chinese coast guard near Kinmen islands, with Taiwan demanding its release.
