		</div><p>China has sent 19 fighter jets towards Taiwan in a large display of force.</p>
<p>This happened after the self-governing island announced its intention to join an 11-nation Pacific trade group that China has also applied to join.</p>
<p>Taiwan deployed air patrol forces in response to the Chinese jets and tracked them on their air defence systems, the island’s Defence Ministry said in a statement.</p>
<p>Among the various jets, some of which flew in a long L-shaped path, were 12 J-16 and two J-11s, as well as bombers and an anti-submarine aircraft.</p>
<p>China has sent fighter jets toward Taiwan on an almost daily basis this past year. It stepped up its military harassment of the self-ruled island after political events in which it views as interfering with its sovereignty.</p>
<p>Taiwan and China split during a civil war in 1949, but China continues to claim Taiwan as part of its territory. Beijing opposes Taiwan’s involvement in international bodies.</p>

<p>Taiwan has applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, setting up another potential clash with Beijing.</p>
<p>China’s military sent 18 planes towards Taiwan last year when a top US diplomat visited the island and met with top government officials.</p>
<p>In June, it sent 28 warplanes after leaders of the Group of Seven industrialised nations issued a statement calling for a peaceful resolution of tensions over Taiwan Strait issues.</p>
