China Sends 25 Warplanes Into Taiwanese Airspace


Taiwan Worthy Ministries

(Worthy News) – China sent 25 military planes into Taiwanese airspace on Monday, escalating tensions between the United States and Beijing.

The Chinese flight mission included 18 fighter jets, 4 bombers, 2 anti-submarine planes, and an airborne radar plane entering Taiwan’s defensive air zone, an act in violation of Taiwanese sovereignty. The aircrafts’ incursion marked the largest operation in Taiwan since it began regular flights over the country in September, according to Taiwan’s Defense Ministry.

The air-based military exercises from China come as Beijing ratchets up its pressure by sea, with some U.S. territories open to attack. On Sunday, the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning sailed through waters neighboring Taiwan, prompting the USS Mustin to tail the ship until it left the contested territory. In March, some 220 Chinese vessels landed at Whitsun Reef, an area claimed by the Philippines and within one of the U.S. Navy’s defense perimeters. China’s aggressive actions have led top American military personnel to say China may invade Taiwan in the next six years. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]
