Taipei, Taiwan-Taiwan condemned China's military exercises on Thursday after Beijing condemned an area to carry out shooting exercises in front of the southwest coast of the self-managed island.

China sees the island as anetical province that is taken by force if necessary, and in recent years, military activities in relation to the waters and airspace have increased Taiwan.

“China is the biggest troublemaker for regional peace and stability as well as the only and biggest threat to peace and stability in Taiwan-Straße and in the Indo-Pacific region,” said the Taiwan State Department in its explanation.

Taiwan's Ministry of Defense said in a 24-hour period in which 45 planes, 14 naval ships and a ship of the Chinese military near Taiwan were discovered, 34 of which had penetrated its waters and airspace.

Taiwan said that it reacted “accordingly” without elaboration.

This happened, Taiwan said that four boats from the Chinese coast guard came to his waters near Kinmen Island at the beginning of this week, and that Taiwan sent his own boats to drive them away.

Xinhua, the State news agency China, reported that the high-ranking Chinese official Wang Huning asked Taiwan China during an annual meeting to take the initiative in the puzzle-council relationships and to urge the “reunification of the mother country”.

Taiwan also said this week that a Chinese ship captured an underwater cable and arrested the ship. Beijing has accused Taiwan of exceeding the situation before facts were clarified in trying “political manipulation”.
