Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo announced the island is monitoring 'abnormal' changes in China's military leadership after Zhang Youxia, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and Xi Jinping's closest military ally, was placed under investigation along with senior officer Liu Zhenli. Taiwan plans to use comprehensive intelligence methods including joint surveillance and reconnaissance to assess China's intentions. The developments occur amid ongoing cross-strait tensions, with China maintaining daily military activities around Taiwan while never renouncing the use of force to bring the island under its control.
