Yeh Kuo-hui, from Taiwan's defence ministry's operations and planning department, told a hastily arranged news conference that China's intentions could not be predicted. The drills took place in Taiwan's air defence identification zone, between mainland Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands, the ministry said. Taiwan says China sent advanced Su-30 and J-10 fighters to participate.
“We once again say, do not underestimate the military's determination to defend our home. We are confident and capable of defending the country,” Chang said.
