TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Stability in the Taiwan Strait is more important than ever, threatened by increasing Chinese military pressure, Japan's annual defense report said Tuesday, touching on the issue for the first time.
This year's white paper, reported to the cabinet the same day, said China has further intensified military activities around Taiwan, with some 380 Chinese warplanes entering Taiwan's southwestern airspace in 2020, citing data from the island's Defense Ministry.
