French senators to visit Taiwan amid soaring China tensions

A group of French senators including a former defence minister will visit Taiwan this week, the island's foreign ministry said on Tuesday, with the visit coming at a time of soaring tensions between Taipei and Beijing and despite China's opposition.

Their trip comes after China flew almost 150 warplanes into Taiwan's air defence zone over a four-day period beginning Oct. 1, China's National Day holiday.

China claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory and is always angered by any trips to the island by foreign officials.
