Taipei, March 31 (CNA) Taiwan’s Air Force scrambled several fighter jets Sunday when two military aircraft from China crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, according to the Ministry of National Defense (MND).
The Taiwan Air Force jets intercepted two J-11 fighter planes from the People’s Liberation Army of China when they crossed the median line, MND spokesman Chen Chung-chi (陳中吉) said.
The Chinese fighter planes entered Taiwan’s southwestern airspace at 11 a.m. and retreated to the west side of the median line after they were issued a radio warning, according to a statement issued by the MND.
According to local media, the incident triggered a 10-minute standoff between Taiwan and China warplanes.
Air Force Officer Wang Chun-hsiung (王純雄) told CNA that Taiwan’s military has standard procedures for dealing with such incidents and will dispatch surveillance units if China’s military aircraft enter Taiwan’s air defense identification zone or cross the median line in the strait.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said on its Twitter that the Chinese war planes made “intentional, reckless and provocative action” and violated a long-held tacit agreement by crossing the median line.
“We’ve informed regional partners and condemn China for such behavior,” MOFA said.
Presidential Office spokesman Alex Huang (黃重諺) condemned that China’s act not only lacked international responsibility, but was also a deliberate provocation that undermines regional security and stability.
He described the act of the Chinese warplanes crossing the median line as destruction of the status quo in the strait.
“The Republic of China government strongly condemned such an act,” Huang said.

Taiwan blasts China over its ‘barbaric behavior’ in Czech Republic
Read More »
Taipei, March 29 (CNA) Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Friday blasted China for what it called “barbaric behavior” after Taiwan’s representative in the Czech Republic was forced out of an economic meeting held recently in the Central European country.Wang Chung-I (汪忠一), head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Prague, was removed from the meeting after a Chinese embassy official there protested his participation, according to a foreign ministry statement.
The economic conference on March 27, held for the 19th year, was organized by the Czech Ministry of Trade and Industry and saw the participation of more than 100 officials from abroad.
The “barbaric actions” undertaken by China will only make more Taiwanese reject the “one China” principle touted by China’s leaders, MOFA said, and it blamed China’s Foreign Ministry as the biggest culprit for the continued deterioration of cross-strait ties.
Taiwan has already expressed grave concerns over the incident to the Czech government, MOFA said, but added that it hoped that exchanges between the two sides can continue to proceed as usual.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the incident was the result of Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib’s defiance in visiting Taiwan, despite strong objections from Beijing.
Hrib arrived in Taiwan earlier this week, during which he met with Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) and also attended the Smart City Summit & Expo at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from March 26 to 29.

« Je savais où je voulais vivre, avec qui je voulais vivre, et comment je voulais vivre. À mes yeux médusés d’ enfant, le mot France brillait de tous les feux : histoire, littérature, politique, guerre, amour, tout était rassemblé et transfiguré par une même lumière sacrée, un même art de vivre mais aussi de mourir, une même grandeur, une même allure, même dans les pires turpitudes. La France coulait dans mes veines, emplissait l air que je respirais ; je n’imaginais pas être la dernière génération à grandir ainsi. Il ne faut pas se leurrer. Le travail de Read More »
