TAIPEI: Taiwan has condemned what it said a “provocative” move by China after two Chinese fighter jets crossed a maritime border separating the two sides amid growing friction between Taipei and Beijing.

Taiwan scrambled aircraft to drive away the two Chinese planes early on Sunday, Taiwan’s defence ministry said, according to media reports.

Issuing a statement, it said that China’s move had “seriously impacted regional safety and stability”.

Beijing, however, has not responded to the statement.

A spokesman for Taiwan’s Presidential Office, Huang Chung-yen, said Beijing “should stop behavior of this sort, which endangers regional peace, and not be an international troublemaker”. (Agencies)
