Chinese military sends 17 warplanes, 7 ships towards Taiwan in 24 hours

China's military sent 71 planes and seven ships toward Taiwan in a 24-hour display of force directed at the island, Taiwan's defence ministry said Monday after China expressed anger at Taiwan-related provisions in a US annual defence spending bill passed on Saturday. China's military harassment of self-ruled Taiwan, which it claims is its own territory, has intensified in recent years, and the Communist Party's People's Liberation Army has sent planes or ships toward the island on a near-daily basis.
