Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has condemned China’s latest military actions after a Chinese carrier strike group near Okinawa reportedly locked radar onto Japanese fighter jets. The movements of the aircraft carrier Liaoning have raised regional tensions, prompting strong protests from Japan and heightened monitoring by Taiwan’s defence forces. Taipei warns that Beijing’s aggressive manoeuvres undermine stability, especially amid strained China-Japan relations. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense says it is closely tracking military, political and economic signals to assess Beijing’s next steps. President Lai reiterates Taiwan’s commitment to “peace through strength” as the region faces growing security challenges.
