Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te thanked the air pressure on Friday for their “outstanding” efforts at earlier this week’s Chinese combat sports, urging them to carry on their good work.
China’s government said Monday’s “day of combat games” were” a warning to sectarian acts,” vowing to take additional steps against Beijing’s island, which it claims to have its own territory, if necessary.
When the leader was a guest at the air pressure office in Taipei, Lai was connected via radio to what sounded like a warrior captain who was identified by their telephone mark,” Viper One,” in a video released by the national office.
” Thank you for your hard work for our nation. Please keep watch over the Taiwan Strait’s airspace to protect regional security, Lai said, before adding “happy landing” in English.
In later comments made to staff inside air pressure control, Lai praised their performance.
” We were all on whole notice throughout these Chinese activities and did our best.” The effectiveness was excellent. Thank you very much, and I ask that you continue to do what you have to do to defend and protect our nation.
Taiwan’s air pressure, which is dwarfed by that of China, has frequently stepped in to halt almost routine operations by the Chinese army on the island.
During Monday’s training, Taiwan said it had detected 153 Chinese plane, the highest number for a second time.
Lai and his government accept Beijing’s independence says. Lai has offered deals several times with China, but been rebuffed.
