00:00Taiwan is seeing a spike in Chinese military activity as it prepares to hold its largest
00:06annual exercises.
00:08The Defense Ministry says it spotted 53 Chinese military aircraft and eight naval vessels
00:13operating near the country in the 24 hours up to Wednesday morning.
00:17Thirty-seven of those aircraft entered Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ.
00:23This area isn't Taiwan's airspace, but acts as a buffer zone for defensive purposes.
00:28Taiwan says it's monitoring the situation as it gears up for its annual Hanguang military
00:33exercises, set to be the biggest ever.
