China sends 27 warplanes into Taiwan ADIZ airspace

China gave a preview Wednesday of what might be coming for Taiwan by sending 27 warplanes into the island's air defense identification zone -- a buffer of airspace commonly referred to as an ADIZ -- according to Taiwan's Defense Ministry.
Twenty-two of those jets crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, an unprecedented number since the island began publicly releasing information about China's incursions into its ADIZ about two years ago, a flight map provided by the ministry showed.
The incursions come as China begins military drills around Taiwan to protest this week's visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. CNN's Stephen Jiang reports.

What was the purpose of her visit? What was so important that she felt she had to endanger the lives of people and run the risk of starting a war

Nancy Pelosi, "I'm here to collect pre-orders for military defense equipment so I can tell my husband what stocks to invest in."

When I was in elementary school in Mexico, in my geography classes I was always taught that Taiwan was a country.

How cute China was having an airshow with old technology

China has long been waiting for things like Nancy Pelosi's visiting Taiwan so that China could push its plan of reuniting Taiwan a big step forward. China thanks Nancy Pelosi for her big help.

Comedian George Carlin once said "Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges." Man, he'd have a lot of content now...

This woman is 82 years old. She should be knitting with old ladies in an armchair and not doing that

In the same scenario, why was Australia so upset when the Chinese foreign minister visited the Solomon Island? Solomon Island is a sovereign nation, so why the double standards? What hypocriscy 🤣🤣🤣

[Sir]

all that military propaganda from China is cute

[LibbyRal]

how pathetic they're so afraid of an 82 year old woman.

[eddiecorleone]

Their intention matters not, it's the miscalculation. This is how all wars start. All it takes is 1 hardline soldier decide to point his or her gun off by 5-10 degree.

Damn it, China!!
You had your chance to take her! Why did you let her get away??? Now we’re still stuck with her.

[joenisnapje]

The entire indo pacific region should unite and rally towards defending Taiwan in order to shield themselves against China aggression to dominate each individually. This is the moment to deter China lust for power! Act in unison now or suffer dire consequences for not aiding your neighbors against unprovoked aggression and threats of war!

A world divided against itself will fall. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we worked together for the better.

[kenwin]

If China get Taiwan the will have control of the most advance computer chips that the world needs and if China get hold of that they will have an advantage. Taiwan is really important to America from military to the economy that make the people of the United States have livable life’s. I agree with the United States backing up Taiwan.

Other countries:There is no problem.
Meanwhile China:Let's create some problem.
