Amidst Taiwan's recovery from a magnitude 7.7 earthquake, the Taiwanese defense ministry reports over 30 Chinese warplanes and 9 navy vessels surrounding the island. The ministry's statement, posted on social media, highlights the presence of Chinese military assets near Taiwan's airspace and waters. Despite the claim, China has yet to respond, while social media users share unverified videos of the vessels. Meanwhile, a call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden addresses tensions between the two nations, including discussions on Taiwan and Beijing's activities in the South China Sea.
