Taiwan says 37 Chinese military aircraft entered its air defence zone
Dozens of Chinese fighters and bombers entered patrol area, says Taipei, in latest incursion by military
Taiwan activated its defence systems on Thursday after reporting 37 Chinese military aircraft flying into the island’s air defence zone, some of which then flew into the western Pacific, in Beijing’s latest mass air incursion.
China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has over the past three years regularly flown its air force into the skies near the island, though not into Taiwan’s territorial airspace.
