Taipei, Dec. 13 (CNA) In the event that a Chinese military aircraft enters Taiwan’s air space, the ROC military will handle the situation “fearlessly without evasion or weakness,” a Ministry of National Defense (MND) official said on Tuesday.

The approach adopted by the military would vary depending on whether the aircraft was hostile or not, Chung Shu-ming (鍾樹明), director of the ministry’s Joint Operations Division, said at a regular press briefing.

He was responding to a question on how the military would handle an encroachment by China, an issue that recently raised concern after Chinese military aircraft flew close to Taiwan’s air defense identification zone twice in two weeks.

Chung said the ROC military monitors China’s military maneuvers closely and was fully aware of the two operations.    [FULL  STORY]
