Spike in Chinese warplane sorties comes just days before the inauguration of President-elect Ching-te of the Beijing-skeptic DPP.
The skies around Taiwan have seen an uptick in Chinese air force activity just days before the inauguration of the self-ruled island's next president.Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense said that as of 6 a.m. Wednesday, it had detected 45 People's Liberation Army aircraft operating in the area. Twenty-six flew across the median line of the Taiwan Strait, a demarcation that China until recent years largely respected, and into Taiwan's air defense identification zone .
Taiwan defense chief Chiu Kuo-cheng reiterated in March that his forces would be permitted to open fire in the event a Chinese aircraft entered territorial airspace, which extends 12 nautical miles from the coast.'Very much above average,' Brent Sadler, senior research fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based think tank the Heritage Foundation, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in reference to the number of Chinese sorties.
