Taiwan Condemns China's Unilateral Flight Path Change in Taiwan Strait

TL;DR Summary
Taiwan expresses anger after China unilaterally changes a flight path near the Taiwan Strait's median line, potentially for military purposes, prompting protests from Taiwan's government. China's civil aviation administration cancels an "offset measure" for the M503 flight route and opens routes towards Taiwan, disregarding flight safety and the existing unofficial barrier. Taiwan warns of serious consequences and increased tensions, while China downplays the changes as routine and denies the existence of the median line, leading to calls for talks between the two sides.
