Taiwan says China is bolstering coastline military bases facing the self-ruled

China is continuously bolstering its military bases along the coastline facing Taiwan, the self-ruled island’s Defense Ministry said in a report, as Beijing steps up military activities around the territory it claims as its own.
Taiwan said it will continue to monitor the Chinese activities around the island and bolster its defenses in response.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said it had spotted 22 Chinese warplanes and 20 warships near the island over the previous 24 hours – part of military harassment by Beijing, which hasn’t ruled out force to reunite the island with the mainland. “
This year, the Chinese Communist Party has aggressively expanded its armaments and continued to build various types of fighter jets and drones,”
Three military airfields in China’s southeastern Fujian province – Longtian, Huian and Zhangzhou – that have recently been expanded.
The closest one to Taiwan, Longtian, is only 217 kilometers from the capital, Taipei.
