Beijing's cancellation of an "offset measure" for the M503 flight route near Taiwan and the introduction of two side routes has sparked condemnation from Taiwan, with officials expressing concerns about the impact on air defense and flight safety. Observers believe the move is an attempt to exert pressure following the election of Taiwan's independence-leaning Vice-President William Lai, and warn that it could escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan's government expressed anger after China unilaterally changed a flight path close to the sensitive median line in the Taiwan Strait, with Taiwan's civil aviation administration and Mainland Affairs Council labeling the moves as "unilateral" and strongly protesting it. China's actions are seen as an attempt to change the status quo for possible military means, with Taiwan's defense ministry warning that the changes can easily lead to an increase in tensions. China downplayed the furore, describing the changes as routine and stating that it had no need to discuss this first with Taiwan.

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

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.
