Taiwan says China is intensifying preparations for a possible blockade of the island

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 02:36

The Taiwanese Ministry of Defence indicated that the Chinese Army is intensifying preparations for a possible blockade of Taiwan. The information was reported by the Taipei government, which is closely monitoring China's military movements.

According to the Taiwanese Ministry of Defence, China is increasingly focusing military exercises on controlling the island's air and sea routes. This strategy suggests preparation to isolate Taiwan from a logistical and military standpoint.

Tensions between China and Taiwan have been increasing in recent years, with Beijing considering the island as part of its territory to be reunified, if necessary by force. Chinese military exercises in the region have become more frequent and comprehensive.

Taiwan remains vigilant in the face of these preparations, strengthening its defense capabilities and surveillance of Chinese military activities in the Taiwan Strait region.

There are still mysteries about the origin of so much water, since only the glaciers and rivers would not be enough to explain the magnitude of the catastrophe.
