Last week, Taiwan had deployed its Air Force as a Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong sailed through the Taiwan Strait.

According to Taiwan's military, the country's fighter jets have taken to the skies &nbsp;4,100 times till October in response to China's incursions making about 22 sorties a day on average which is 129 per cent more than last year.

The rate of dispatch of Naval ships has also gone up manifold to resist Chinese ships at sea with Taiwan sending its vessels 7,500 times compared to 6,000 last year.

"Faced with Chinese communists' sabre-rattling and intimidations... we should demonstrate our belief not to yield an inch of our territory and sovereignty," President Tsai had said as he sought to push back China's military might.

A Taiwan military report said that China's military actions posed "grave challenges" to its national defence and security.
