Taiwan reported 45 Chinese warplanes in its airspace within 24 hours, according to its defense ministry on Wednesday.
The record number of Chinese daily sorties this year comes ahead of President-elect Lai Ching-te’s inauguration on May 20.
The ministry said that “26 of the aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait,” referring to a line bisecting the 180-kilometer (110-mile) waterway separating Taiwan and China. Beijing does not recognize this unofficial boundary.
Six Chinese Navy vessels were also detected, according to the statement.
Taipei emphasized it was monitoring the situation closely and urged Beijing to exercise self-restraint.
“Since late April they have become more and more provocative,” the senior Taiwanese security official said.
Oh pipe down. Biden has been tasked with trying to undo the continuous damage the GOP guided by Trump are doing to the international stability.
Under Trumps influence the world has dramatically destabilized and everyone is rearming. Old conflicts are brewing, the political right is on the rise.
And everyone is seeing on display that the so called greatest country on earth is inept in holding a former president accountable for an insurrection he manufactured.
During trump’s presidency the world has seen the blatant lies or alternative facts and how much they pay off… every accusation they make is an admission.
Narcissists and psychopaths are having a field day being out and open, since their emperor has shown that if you are brazen enough, noone can touch you.
But go ahead… spin your narrative.
