Taiwan's intelligence authorities have said that a People's Liberation Army
warplane crashed in the disputed South China Sea earlier this month.

Soon after the accident, the PLA announced military drills near the suspected
crash site, the island's National Security Bureau told the legislature on
Thursday, confirming earlier reports by a Vietnamese journalist.

The intelligence bureau chief delivered a report that said the crashed plane was
a Shaanxi Y-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft. He added that soon after the
crash, the PLA announced navigation restrictions in the adjacent waters to carry
out search and rescue operations in the name of "military training."

It said the operations were conducted in the waters close to the disputed
"nine-dash line," which marks the maximum extent of China's historical claims
over the South China Sea.




Its claim over the waters and the islands within it — including the Paracels,
Spratleys, Zhongsha and the Pratas — are disputed by several countries,
including the Philippines and Vietnam.

The report said the PLA wanted to use the incident to "test the limits of the US
and other South China Sea claimants" while the world was focused on the Russian
invasion of Ukraine.

Asked to elaborate on the incident, bureau director Chen Ming-tong declined to
give further details, saying the entire case involved sensitive intelligence
issues.

Chen was invited to the legislature on Thursday along with other senior
officials, including defence minister Chiu Kuo-cheng and Mainland Affairs
Council vice-chairman Chiu Chui-cheng, to report on the cross-strait situation
following the invasion of Ukraine.

Chen confirmed a Vietnamese journalist's report that a Chinese military patrol
plane had crashed off the coast of Vietnam.

On Sunday the journalist, Duan Dang, citing sources familiar with the matter,
tweeted that the PLA Air Force had lost contact with a Y-8 maritime patrol
aircraft as it flew over an area of water southwest of Sanya in China's Hainan
province on March 1.

He said China had launched a search-and-rescue operation and "concealed it with
drills" between March 1 and 2.

China never acknowledged the incident but it did announce that it would carry
out a week of military drills until March 15 in an area between its southern
province of Hainan and Vietnam and warned shipping to stay away.




Meanwhile, defence minister Chiu said a conflict with the mainland would be a
disaster for all sides regardless of the outcome.

"Nobody wants war," Chiu told reporters before he attended Thursday's
legislature session, where he and other senior officials were questioned about
the cross-strait situation following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Asked by reporters about the possibility of Beijing seizing the opportunity of
the Ukrainian crisis to attack Taiwan, Chiu said such a possibility was slim
given that the mainland is busy with its parliamentary sessions and the upcoming
Communist Party congress.

He said no matter who won the war, it would be a "miserable victory" and so it
was necessary for the mainland to "thoroughly think it over."




Beijing considers Taiwan part of its territory that must be brought under its
control — by force if necessary.

It has ramped up pressure on the island by sending warplanes and staging war
games near its coast to try to force President Tsai Ing-wen of the
independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party to accept the one-China
principle.
