China's military sent 71 planes and seven ships toward Taiwan in a 24-hour display of force directed at the island, Taiwan's defense ministry said Monday, after China expressed anger at Taiwan-related provisions in a US annual defense spending bill passed on Saturday. China's military harassment of self-ruled Taiwan, which it claims is its own territory, has intensified in recent years.
