Chinese Warplanes Hover Over Taiwan Again - Dismas - 10-03-2021
China's flying above Taiwan again, in a typical show of force. Wasteful, as topping up a jet's fuel can cost up to $30k (typically less).
Quote:China flew more than 30 military planes toward Taiwan on Saturday, the second large display of force in as many days.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said 39 aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone in two sorties, one during the day and one at night. That followed a similar pattern on Friday, when 38 planes flew into the area south of the self-governing island.
China claims Taiwan, which lies off its east coast, as its territory. The two split in 1949 during a civil war in which the Communists took control of mainland China and the rival Nationalists set up a government on Taiwan. The Communist Party marked the 72nd anniversary of its rule on Friday.
Taiwan’s premier, Su Tseng-chang, spoke out on Saturday against the first day’s flights.
“China has always conducted brutal and barbarian actions to jeopardize regional peace,” he said while attending the opening ceremony of a science park in southern Taiwan.

More interestingly, Biden and Xi have agreed to abide by the Taiwan agreement:

China has claimed Taiwan to be part of the PRC since the 40s but the military aggression kicked off in the 90s/00s.
