China sends warplanes into Taiwan's air defense zone, Taipei says

China sent 25 warplanes into Taiwan's air defense identification zone on Monday, the largest breach of that space since the island began regularly reporting such activity in September, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said.
The Chinese flights came a day after the US secretary of state warned Beijing that Washington was committed to the defense of the democratic, self-governed island, which China considers part of its sovereign territory.
The 25 planes dispatched by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) forces included 14 J-16 fighter jets, four J-10 fighter jets, four H-6K bombers, two anti-submarine warfare planes and an airborne early warning and control plane, according to Taiwan's Defense Ministry.

"If one day China should change her color and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.” ~Deng Xiaoping speech at the United Nations, April 10, 1974

Every country needs to recognise Taiwan as it's own sovereign state.

Taiwan is the number #1 semiconductor chip maker in the world! China would have enormous economic power if they owned and controlled TSMC!

[metanews]

Why doesn't CNN show a map of Taiwans Air Defense Zone and where the supposed incursion took place?

The US constantly sends warplanes through China's ADIZ as well, but CNN won't report that as America's aggression towards China

It is easy to say and start a war, but it is not easy to bury the numerous cadavers blanketed the surroundings of the fighting nations.

Air defense identification zone and air space are two different things
