Taiwan scrambled fighter jets and warships to monitor and deter increased Chinese military activity around the island nation.<\/p>\n

The encroachment from Chinese aircraft and warships conducting a \u201cjoint combat readiness patrol\u201d happened late Monday, according to an X post from the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China. The Chinese military escalation comes after the U.S. military announced it was postponing an arms sale to Taiwan because of supply constraints caused by Operation Epic Fury, Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao said during a Senate subcommittee hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cXi Jinping has assured President Trump that China will not invade Taiwan, guaranteeing a free and open Indo-Pacific for the rest of the President\u2019s term in office,\u201d a senior administration official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. (RELATED: Will China Really Invade Taiwan In The Next Five Years?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cROC Armed Forces have monitored the situation and employed CAP aircraft, Navy ships, and coastal missile systems in response to detected activities,\u201d according to a Republic of China (Taiwanese) Ministry of Defense press release.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China (Taiwan) announced in a post on X that it had detected \u201c29 sorties of PLA (People\u2019s Liberation Army) aircraft, 7 PLAN (People\u2019s Liberation Army Navy) vessels and 1 official ship operating around Taiwan detected up until 6 a.m.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

China deployed more than 100 ships along the First Island Chain on Saturday, according to Taiwan National Security Council \u200bSecretary-General Joseph Wu. The First Island Chain is a key geographic chokepoint in the South China Sea that extends through key shipping lanes in Asia.<\/p>\n

The Taiwanese Ministry of National Defense published images of the \u201cjoint combat readiness patrol\u201d on its official website, including two Chinese fighter jets in formation with a larger aircraft and a Chinese warship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s Military News Agency did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u2018This Is Unprovoked\u2019<\/h3>\n

\u201cFor the 2nd time in a week, shortly after the #Beijing summit, the #PLA conducted a \u201cjoint combat readiness patrol\u201d around #Taiwan,\u201d Wu said in a post on X. \u201cWe also spotted the #Liaoning carrier group in the West Pacific. This is unprovoked. The #PRC is the sole source of instability in the #IndoPacific.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump visited Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 14 to discuss trade negotiations, the Strait of Hormuz and Taiwan. Trump referred to the weapons package as a good \u201cnegotiating chip\u201d for the United States during an interview with Fox News on May 15.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military had not \u201cspoken to the Taiwanese\u201d regarding the decision to postpone the arms sale to Taiwan, Cao said during the Senate subcommittee hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just right now we\u2019re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury, which we have plenty, but we are just making sure we have everything, but then the foreign military sales will continue when the administration deems necessary,\u201d Cao said during the hearing.<\/p>\n

The Liaoning aircraft carrier was involved in a live-fire training drill in the western Pacific on May 19, according to the South China Morning Post. This occurred after a standoff with Japanese fighter jets in December, in which Chinese fighter jets locked their radars onto Japanese fighter jets, according to U.S. Naval Institute News.<\/p>\n

The Liaoning was originally purchased from Ukraine shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to the SCMP. The ship was allegedly purchased by a wealthy businessman with the cover story that it could be used as a casino, the SCMP reported.<\/p>\n

The Liaoning, formerly named the Varyag, was not in running order when it was purchased and was lacking engines, the Washington Post reported on July 21, 2001. Although the SCMP reported that it came with engines that needed to be refitted.<\/p>\n

Chinese warships armed with cruise missiles are sailing as close as 24 nautical miles from Taiwan\u2019s shores, Reuters reported, citing the director of Taiwan\u2019s Institute for National Defence and Security Research, Su Tzu-yun.<\/p>\n
