On Sunday, 27 fighter jets of the Communist Chinese leadership broke into the air defense zone of Taiwan – including five nuclear-capable H-6 bombers. This is the largest military provocation from the Chinese side since October 2021. On October 1, the regime had 59 jets invaded Taiwan’s airspace.
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that it can use military force to bring it under control if necessary. Taiwan is de facto independent, but only a few countries recognize it. Taiwan is gearing up because of tensions. Just a week ago, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing (65) commissioned a modern generation of F16 fighter jets. The United States is Taiwan’s most important defense ally.
