China denied on Friday that it had imposed a no-fly zone in the seas north of Taiwan for Sunday, even though Taipei said it was told by Beijing that China would impose one.
Taiwan's transport ministry said Beijing had initially notified Taipei it would impose a no-fly zone from April 16-18, but later said that was reduced to a period of just 27 minutes on Sunday morning after it protested.
"I have noticed that there were previous reports pointing out that the no-fly zone was set up by the Chinese side, which is inaccurate. The relevant authorities will implement measures to ensure flight safety," Wang said. However, Taiwan has already issued a notice to airmen for pilots for Sunday morning that uses the wording "airspace blocked due to aerospace flight activity."
On Thursday, China's maritime safety agency said potential rocket debris would fall in the East China Sea on April 16 between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. , and banned shipping vessels from the area.

China says Taiwan encirclement drills a 'serious warning'China says recent air and sea drills simulating an encirclement of Taiwan were intended as a “serious warning” to pro-independence politicians on the self-governing island and their foreign supporters. Spokesperson for the Cabinet's Taiwan Affairs Office Zhu Fenglian told reporters at a biweekly briefing Wednesday that the three days of air and sea exercises were a response to recent 'provocations' and were necessary to “safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.” China claims Taiwan as its own territory to be brought under its control by force if necessary. The large-scale drills that ended Monday were retaliation for Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California last week during a transit visit to the U.S.
