Taiwan Reports Increased Chinese Military Incursions
Taiwan and China are having a disagreement.
China sees Taiwan as part of its territory, but Taiwan governs itself.
Recently, China sent planes and ships close to Taiwan.
Taiwan's government noticed 11 Chinese airplanes and 7 ships near their waters.
Nine of the planes flew over a line in the sea that separates Taiwan and China.
This is similar to a neighbor testing a fence.
The day before, China also sent a plane and ships.
Taiwan watches carefully to protect itself, and this activity shows that tensions between them are high.
