'Taiwan not seeing signs of large-scale Chinese military act pre-election'

[Collection]Taiwan is not seeing any signs of large-scale Chinese military activity before elections next month but is keeping a close watch on China, the island's defence ministry said on Tuesday. As the election approaches Taiwan has been reporting Chinese fighter jets and warships around the island, as well as balloons crossing the sensitive Taiwan Strait, though the military says they are most likely for weather monitoring purposes. Taiwan's defence ministry gives a daily update on Chinese military activities near the island, including how many aircraft it has detected.
