Saturday, 26 June 2021 (YJC) _ China will deploy 150 new stealth fighter jets on its east coast.
China will deploy 150 new fighter jets in the Taiwan Strait and East China Sea, the South China Morning Post reported this morning.
The upgraded version of the stealth fighter (invisible to radar) will be delivered to bases in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and the eastern and northern theatre commands.
Communist China considers the island a “rebel” province, to be retaken by force if necessary.
According to experts, this massive deployment is meant as a warning to Japan and South Korea not to join the United States in defending Taiwan.
This follows Japan’s recent decision to boost its support for Taiwan.
"The peace and stability of Taiwan are directly connected to Japan and we are closely monitoring ties between China and Taiwan, as well as Chinese military activity,” said Japanese Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi is quoted as saying on Thursday in Bloomberg.
Tension remains high in the Strait of Taiwan. On Tuesday, a US destroyer sailed through the body of water that separates the island from the mainland, the sixth time a US warship has done so since Joe Biden took office in January.
