A photo published by Chinese military showing its strategic bomber reportedly flying over Taiwan, days after Beijing’s spat with US President-elect Donald Trump over his questioning of ‘One China’ policy, has sparked concerns in the island, official media here reported.
The photo published by the People’s liberation Army Air Force (PlAAF) showing a long-range strategic bomber flying within visible range of Yushan, Taiwan’s highest mountain, has caused great concern in Taiwan amid debate about whether the mainland will reunify the island by force, state-run Global Times reported.
It said the PlA Air Force published the photo on its Sina Weibo account, showing an Xian H-6K bomber flying above the clouds with two mountain peaks rising in the distance.
“Military commentators on the mainland believe the peaks are of a mountain in Taiwan, which has made many netizens marvel at the PlA’s military capability,” the report said.
