China verbietet Schifffahrt nahe Taiwan am Sonntag

April 13, 2023 - China verbietet Sonntag Schiffsverkehr in einem Gebiet nördlich von Taiwan, da die Möglichkeit bestehe, dass Reste von Raketen vom Himmel fallen könnten, wie eine provinzielle Maritime Behörde meldet.

The area around 160km from the Taiwanese capital, Taipei, will be closed from 9:00 am (0100 GMT) to 3:00 pm (0700 GMT), the maritime safety administration of China’s eastern Fujian province said Thursday.

The announcement came after Taiwan’s transport ministry said Wednesday that Beijing planned to impose a no-fly zone north of the island due to “space activities”.

The air restrictions would be in force from 9:30 am to 9:57 am (0130 to 0157 GMT) on Sunday, the ministry said.

China had initially planned a three-day shutdown but had relented following objections from Taiwanese authorities, according to AFP.
