China sends 39 military planes into Taiwan’s defense zone in one day
China flew 39 warplanes, including 24 J-16 fighter jets, 10 J-10 jets, and other military aircraft, into Taiwan’s air defense zone on Sunday, the Washington Times reports. The Taiwanese claimed sovereign independence from China after a civil war that ended in 1949, but the Chinese regime has refused to accept this and considers Taiwan to be part of mainland China.
