It\u2019s designed to have air defense capabilities and can carry anti-ship missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the first of six of its kind that will be commissioned by the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsai has made boosting Taiwan\u2019s domestic defense industry a priority. She has pushed the military aviation industry with the production of new trainer jets and called for the development of more sophisticated systems by using the island\u2019s high-tech industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Taiwan is producing its own submarine after four years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2016\/08\/03\/taiwan-establishes-submarine-development-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">research and design<\/a>. It decided to built its own after Beijing successfully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2017\/04\/07\/taiwan-struggles-to-acquire-5-types-of-submarine-tech-for-local-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">prevented it<\/a> from purchasing such craft from abroad in recent years through the use of economic and diplomatic threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China claims Taiwan is a part of its national territory, although the two have functioned independently since a civil war in 1949. China has publicly said it seeks \u201cpeaceful reunification\u201d with Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian noted Tsai\u2019s commissioning of the warship, saying \u201cthere is no way out for Taiwan\u2019s separatist forces to use military means to confront the mainland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past few years, Taiwan has faced increasing harassment from China, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2021\/06\/16\/china-sends-largest-group-of-military-aircraft-in-single-day-near-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">sent fighter jets flying toward the island<\/a> on a near daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, China\u2019s People Liberation Army sent 19 fighter jets toward the southwestern part of Taiwan\u2019s air defense identification zone, the island\u2019s Defense Ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August, the PLA conducted live assault drills with a squad of fighter jets, anti-submarine aircraft and combat ships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taiwan\u2019s president oversaw the commissioning of a new domestically made warship as part of the island\u2019s plan
