Taipei, June 23 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Tuesday called on Taiwan's military to remain vigilant in the wake of frequent incursions by Chinese Airforce planes into the nation's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) over the past few weeks.

In her address during a conferral ceremony where she promoted 20 senior military personnel, the president said China continues to pressure Taiwan militarily by increasing the frequency with which it sends military aircraft and vessels to operate near the nation's waters and airspace.

The armed forces need to closely monitor the waters and airspace around the country to keep the nation safe, she added.

Tsai made the comments a day after two Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan's ADIZ on Monday for a second day in a row and the sixth time in seven days.    [FULL  STORY]
