[Reporter Huang Jingyu/Report from Taipei] The CCP carried out military drills around Taiwan last night, and Taiwan drove away 57 invading aircraft.

Qiu Chenyuan, general secretary of the Legislative Yuan People's Party and member of the Legislative Yuan, pointed out that the scope of the military exercise's interference in Taiwan has been significantly expanded. Except for the airspace in the northeast, there are a large number of shared planes in the rest of the airspace. Facing the normal intrusion of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Loopholes in the air defense of northern Taiwan are gradually revealed. The emergency take-off and interception of phantom fighter jets at the Hsinchu Air Force Base alone is no longer sufficient. The "Air Force Taoyuan Base" should be restarted to share the burden of air defense in the north.

Qiu Chenyuan said that the scale of the joint aircraft disturbance to Taiwan last night was like a replica of the military exercise in August last year. It takes 15 minutes to take off to reach the intrusive airspace. For driving away the People's Liberation Army and defending the airspace, the time challenge is great. However, if it takes off from the Air Force Taoyuan Base, it only takes 6 minutes to reach the northeast airspace.

Qiu Chenyuan believes that it is urgent to strengthen the air defense capabilities of northern Taiwan. Restarting the Air Force Taoyuan Base is no longer an issue of cultural preservation, but an issue related to national security and national defense. The airport will share the burden of northern air defense and reduce the burden of Hsinchu Mirage fighters taking off and intercepting.
