China has described the drills as a "stern warning against the collusion between separatist forces." House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., second from right, welcomes Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as she arrives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., on April 5, 2023. McCarthy said, "America's support for the people of Taiwan will remain resolute, unwavering, and bipartisan," per AP.
☆ Chinese fighter jets flew near island, Taiwan says

China’s military flew 36 fighter jets and bombers near Taiwan, the Taiwanese defense ministry announced, part of a long-running campaign of intimidation against the self-ruled island democracy that Beijing claims as part of its territory. Ten of the aircraft on Saturday flew across the median line in the Taiwan Strait that separates the island from the mainland, the ministry said. Taiwan and China split in 1949 following a civil war that ended with the Communist Party in control of the mainland. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s government stepped up efforts this year to intimidate Taiwan. It has sent fighter planes and bombers to fly near the island and fired missiles into the sea.
