Taiwan reports large-scale Chinese military aircraft presence near island - Lemmy.World

Taiwan saw a surge of Chinese military planes near the island, its defense ministry said Sunday, after a sharp drop in flights over the past two weeks had sparked discussions among observers. The ministry detected 26 Chinese military aircraft around the island on Saturday, with 16 of them entering its northern, central and southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone. Seven naval ships were spotted around the island, it reported. The increased number of aircraft came after the ministry reported a fall that left analysts scratching their heads about what China’s military may be up to.

Taiwan is part of China

If that were true, there would be no need for China to periodically talk about invading it or threatening military action against it. 😉 You can’t invade territory that’s already “yours”.

China never said they would “invade” per se, they say they would pursue Reunification

“Pursue unification” means they are not unified and Taiwan is still not theirs. 😉
