In the past year, it has also sent navy vessels as well as drones to circle the waters near the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan\u2019s defense ministry said the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army sent 33 warplanes and 6 navy vessels between 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday. The J-10 and J-16 fighter jets flew across the midline and to the southwest of Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry said in an earlier statement Wednesday that Taiwan\u2019s military tracked five of the ships as they sailed in coordination with the flights of the fighter jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry said it used land-based missile systems to track the aircraft, 10 of which crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that had been considered a buffer between the island and mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to escalating Chinese military pressure, Taiwan has been buying weapons and fighter jets to shore up its defenses. In July, the U.S. announced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/06\/22\/taiwan-military-aid-granted-by-once-reluctant-appropriators\/\" target=\"_blank\">a $345 million package of sales<\/a> to Taiwan that will include portable air defense systems, intelligence and surveillance capabilities, firearms and missiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taiwan&#8217;s defense ministry says China sent navy ships and a large group of fighter jets toward
