TAIWAN LEFT DEFENSELESS? PLA Sends 8 Warships in Taiwan Waters Just A Day after Trump's China Visit

In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said it tracked eight Chinese PLA Navy vessels and one official Chinese ship operating around the island over a 24-hour period, marking the fourth straight day of heightened Chinese military activity near Taiwan. Taipei responded by deploying aircraft, naval ships and coastal-based missile systems, while accusing Beijing of expanding “gray-zone” pressure tactics designed to stretch Taiwan’s defenses without direct conflict. The developments come as Taiwan unveiled the final vessel in its new Anping-class fleet — coast guard ships capable of carrying anti-ship missiles during wartime. The latest tensions also coincide with renewed U.S.-China friction over Taiwan after Chinese President Xi Jinping warned Donald Trump that mishandling the Taiwan issue could push bilateral ties into a “dangerous place.” Taiwan says China has already deployed 118 naval ships and 108 military aircraft around the island so far this month. #taiwan, #china, #pla, #xijinping, #donaldtrump, #taiwanstrait, #chinataiwan, #taiwannews, #breakingnews, #geopolitics, #uschina, #pla navy, #warships, #taiwancrisis, #militarynews, #southchinasea, #taiwanmilitary, #worldnews, #chinausrelations, #asiapacific Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world 🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
