The defense ministry said in a statement that 32 aircraft from the People’s Liberation Army and nine vessels from the navy were detected in the 24 hours between 6 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday.

Zhang also said that China urged the U.S. to fulfill its commitment of not supporting the independence of Taiwan.
