Beijing sparks war fears with Taiwan after second fighter jet incursion.
CHINA has once again sparked fears of an all-out conflict by flying a squadron of fighter jets and bombers in close proximity to islands overseen by Taiwan in the contested South China Sea region.
The Taiwanese Defense Ministry claimed to have spotted 11 Chinese jets on Saturday, including eight fighter aircraft, an anti-submarine aircraft and two nuclear-capable H-6 bombers, near the Pratas Islands. Tensions between the two countries were already high as Beijing had been conducting drills in the disputed region on Friday.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Beijing’s naval forces also took part in Saturday’s activity but did not explain further.
On Saturday, a spokesman for the US State Department reaffirmed previous calls for China "to cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure against Taiwan.”
He added Beijing should "instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan's democratically elected representatives.”
The news comes after China flew a squadron of fighter jets in Taiwan’s air defence region on Friday.
Four J-16s and four JH-7s, and an electronic warfare aircraft, flew into the country’s defence zone near the Pratas Islands in the southwestern region of its air space.
Consequently, Taiwan’s airforce was ordered to trigger it's missile mechanism and sent radio warnings, according to Taiwan’s Defence Ministry.
