Twenty-seven Chinese aircraft buzz the Taiwan Strait, with Taiwan saying 22 of them crossed the median line within hours of US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi leaving the island.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV published images and video of the People's Liberation Army executing drills.

On Wednesday morning, Ms Pelosi addressed Beijing's threats but stopped short of saying the US would offer military support to Taiwan. "[I hope] that [China] understands they will not stand in the way of people coming to Taiwan as a show of friendship and of support," she said. US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's arrival in Taiwan triggered an immediate and angry response from China.

"[Congress is] committed to the security of Taiwan, in order to have Taiwan be able to most effectively defend themselves," she said.China's ally Russia, also weighed in on Ms Pelosi's visit with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov condemning it."It's a clear provocation. It's not a deliberate line to support ephemeral freedom and democracy," he said.

West Taiwan seems to be upset at something. Gee what don’t they get!

China should recognize that United States are just states that are united but each state is independent. Start supporting and arming independence movements in Hawaii, Texas, Alaska...

“Pelosi leaves Taiwan, China reacts by sending aircraft to buzz the Taiwan Strait”. Reminds me of school children hurling abuse across the school yard. Wake up Chinese government, you are supposed to be acting like respectful diplomats, rather than childish oafs.

What? Bizarre inaccuracy introduced by ABC into AP copy

Of course they send in the aircraft 'after' she leaves don't they? It was a threat and the US called their bluff. The whole island is now surrounded with supposedly Chinese military training exercises? Taiwan is the hub of technology..disrupt that and the planet suffers..again

I think nothing of Pelosi but good on her for calling China's bluff.
