In response to the changing situation around the sea and air space surrounding Taiwan, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) stated today (7th) that the CCP has recently delimited a no-flight zone (NFZ) off the coast of eastern Zhejiang, and it is believed that the CCP will hold annual live-fire exercises. In response, the Armed Forces will adopt joint intelligence, and surveillance and reconnaissance measures to grasp, analyze, and compare relevant intelligence in real-time.
It is currently believed that the scope of such exercises will exert no impact on the security of our sea and air space. Nonetheless, the MND will pay close attention to the situation to predict enemy movements for close control, and explain the situation to the general public in a timely manner to avoid false information spreading.
