Taiwan’s air force scrambled on Sunday against renewed Chinese military activity, with its defence ministry reporting that 19 aircraft including nuclear-capable bombers had flown into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone.
Chinese-claimed Taiwan has complained for a year or more of repeated missions by China’s air force near the self-ruled island, often in the southwestern part of its air defence zone near the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands.
The latest Chinese mission involved 10 J-16 and four Su-30 fighters, as well as four H-6 bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, and an anti-submarine aircraft, Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said.
Taiwanese combat aircraft were dispatched to warn away the Chinese aircraft, while missile systems were deployed to monitor them, the ministry said.
The Chinese aircraft flew in an area closer to the Chinese than Taiwanese coast, roughly northeast of the Pratas, according to a map provided by Taiwan’s defence ministry.
There was no immediate comment from China.
The last such large-scale activity, on June 15, involved 28 Chinese air force aircraft, the largest incursion https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/taiwan-reports-largest-incursion-yet-by-chinese-air-force-2021-06-15 reported by Taiwan to date.
China often mounts such missions to express displeasure at something Taiwan has done or at shows of international support for the democratically ruled island, especially by the United States, Taiwan’s main arms provider.
It was not clear what might have prompted China to launch its aircraft this time, though a U.S. warship and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter sailed through https://www.reuters.com/world/us-warship-transits-taiwan-strait-after-chinese-assault-drills-2021-08-27 the Taiwan Strait late last month.
China has described its activities as necessary to protect the country’s sovereignty and deal with “collusion” between Taipei and Washington.
Taiwan’s defence ministry warned https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/taiwan-says-china-can-paralyse-its-defences-threat-worsening-2021-09-01 last week that the threat from China was growing, saying China’s armed forces can “paralyse” Taiwan’s defences and are able to fully monitor its deployments.

Taiwan’s air defence identification zone extends well into the Chinese mainland and up the Chinese coast more than the entire length of Taiwan.
Considering the fact that the US is arming Taiwan to the hilt & winding up the Chinese with false claims of support to Taiwan, there’s no surprise that China is probing Taiean’s air defenses.
No one really believe the US will go to war with China over Taiwan.
China should invade and get it over with. Of course, much better for Taiwan to seek a slow integration with China, but as usual, elite corruption gets in the way of the obvious.
ITS OVER !
with teddy roosevelts big stick politics !
the stick now have others (+jews) .
China is the epitome of the jew utopia, ” the jewish utopia” Dimont. China is how the jew wants the world to be. China IS the epitome of the NWO that is why the united states of zion will not fight, a genuine, war with them. Taiwan will left to be partially occupied. China has to be smashed if there is to be any hope of avoiding the implimentation of the jew new world order.
