Chinese Air Force Sends 28 Planes into Taiwan's Air Defence Zone

Taiwan's defense ministry reported that 28 Chinese air force planes, including J-10 fighters, entered its air defense identification zone (ADIZ), with some conducting drills with the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong in the Pacific. This comes amid increased Chinese military activities near Taiwan, which Beijing considers its own territory. Japan's defense ministry also spotted the Shandong and five accompanying Chinese navy vessels off its southwestern Miyako island. Additionally, over 20 Chinese warships, including Type 055 destroyers, sailed through the Bashi channel and Miyako Strait into the Pacific. These actions are seen as a challenge to recent military activities by the United States and its allies in the region.
