Beijing claims to be holding a Taiwanese soldier who was recently rescued by mainland Chinese coastguards off the coast of Fujian province. Chinese coastguards rescued two people after they called for help when their small fishing boat lost power in Weitou Bay on March 18. Chinese authorities have accused a Taiwanese man, identified by the surname Hu, of "intentionally concealing" his identity as an active serviceman. Meanwhile, Taiwan's defence ministry detected 36 Chinese military aircraft and six naval ships operating around the self-ruled island over a span of 24 hours. #china #taiwan #chinataiwan #beijing Video: AP/AFP/Reuters 0:00 - Introduction 0:25 - Beijing Holding Rescued “taiwanese Soldier” Who “lied About Identity” 2:26 - Tensions Simmering Between Taiwan & Mainland China 3:44 - 36 Chinese Military Aircraft Detected Around Taiwan n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
