China’s military sent 103 warplanes toward Taiwan in a 24-hour period in what the island’s defense ministry called a recent new high.
The planes were detected between 6 a.m. on Sunday and 6 a.m. on Monday, the ministry said. As is customary, they turned back before reaching Taiwan. Chinese warplanes fly toward the self-governing island on a near-daily basis but typically in smaller numbers. The Taiwan ministry didn’t explain what time period it meant by a “recent” high.
China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory, has conducted increasingly large military drills in the air and waters around Taiwan as tensions have grown between the two and with the United States. The U.S. is Taiwan’s main supplier of arms and opposes any attempt to change Taiwan’s status by force.

Google any of the following:
- China’s youth unemployment rate
- Deflation in China
- Housing crisis in China
- Economic slowdown in China
- Manufacturing leaving China
Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said that 40 of the planes crossed the symbolic halfway point between mainland China and the island.
The ministry called the Chinese military action “harassment” that it warned could escalate in the current tense atmosphere.
“We urge the Beijing authorities to bear responsibility and immediately stop such kind of destructive military activities,” it said in a statement.’’
China last week sent a flotilla of ships including the aircraft carrier Shandong into waters near Taiwan.
The drills came shortly after the U.S. and Canada sailed warships through the Taiwan Strait, the waters that separate the island from the mainland.
The ruling Democratic Progressive Party, which leans toward formal independence for the island, is anathema to the Chinese government.

You are aware that China is currently the aggressor, and the US and Canada are showing symbolic strength with these maneuvers to support Taiwan?
Playing with american and canadian muscles doesn’t de-escalate, bro.
It certainly does in today’s global political landscape. Regrettably, we’ve reverted to a more conservative and pragmatic scenario where autocratic regimes are somewhat constrained by power dynamics.
As you may have observed, actors like Russia are disregarding international norms. Instead of pursuing diplomatic de-escalation, they’re spreading misinformation to exacerbate conflicts and disrupt international relations, particularly in Western regions, bro.

Taiwan should shoot a plane down next time it breaches airspace
