Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen walks at Taoyuan International Airport upon returning from a trip to the US and Central America, in Taoyuan, Taiwan on April 7, 2023.TAIPEI - China's military exercises have caused instability in Taiwan and the region and are irresponsible acts for a major country, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said after Beijing ended three days of drills around the island.
Writing on her Facebook page shortly before midnight on Monday, Tsai said that as president, "I represent my county to the world", and that her visits abroad including stops in the United States are not new and what Taiwan's people expect. Taiwan's defence ministry said that on Monday, 91 Chinese military aircraft flew in missions around the island.
The exercises have also caused concern in Japan, especially as its southern islands sit close to Taiwan and could become caught up in a conflict. China appeared to have shown an "uncompromising attitude" regarding Taiwan issues through the drills, Hamada told reporters.
