Chinese Warplanes Trigger Taiwan's Air Defense Response.

More than 30 Chinese warplanes entered Taiwan's air defence zone over the course of about six hours, according to Taiwan's defence ministry. China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its territory and has intensified aerial incursions into the island's air defence identification zone in recent years. Taiwan's military is monitoring the situation closely and has dispatched patrol planes, naval vessels, and land-based missile systems in response. Analysts say China's increased probing of Taiwan's defence zone is part of wider "grey-zone" tactics that keep the island pressured.
