Taiwan detects 6 Chinese vessels, 1 ship near its territory
•Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) detected six Chinese naval vessels and one official ship operating around its territorial waters on Sunday.
•The MND monitored the situation and responded, confirming no PLA aircraft were detected during this timeframe.
•Earlier on Saturday, Taiwan detected two PLA aircraft and eight naval vessels, with one aircraft crossing the median line into Taiwan's eastern ADIZ.
•China claims Taiwan as an inseparable part of its territory, a view rooted in historical, political, and legal arguments.
•Taiwan functions as a de facto independent state with its own government, military, and economy, but avoids formal independence to prevent conflict with the PRC.
