The People's Liberation Army of China has sent warplanes into Taiwanese airspace on 198 days this year. Here's why.

"It is a big deal that signals Australia's greater willingness to be engaged with security [issues] in Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea," Mr Sung said.

"It's natural that China will want to show some muscle at this point to signal to the other actors internationally, for example the US and Australia, that if they make further moves in this direction, then China may risk serious escalated military tension, potentially conflict," Mr Sung said. "[It wants] to both very visually represent the notion of the 'China Dream' that is associated with the 'strong-nation dream' and 'strong-military dream'," he said.

Pull Up Bullies!!

Oh boy, some CCP robo bots here comparing Tassie to Aus mainland as to Taiwan to mainland China 🤦🏾‍♂️ how much more the CCP cow manure need to feed these bots?

Don't listen to the scaremongering of the ABC they are stirring media paranoia which does no one any good. China will do as it pleases in their airspace It's a Domestic affair

What I'd like to know if why is it of a concern to us?

我在我家开车遛弯,还得轮到别人家的狗叫吗?😅

And china are part the UN. Where's the UN? Silent as always. What a useless organisation

because of one man...

ABC show the flight path or admit you are a propaganda station for the Pentagon.

If China didn't have a strong stance on Taiwan the aggressors USA would turn it into a giant war base.

The usual Chinese slow deadth squeeze - don't stop 1,2,3 or 4 then why stop 39. Too little too late.

Last week Joe Wu crowed about making TW a 'sea wall' to stop China moving into the western Pacific, at about the same time a UK warship was traversing the TW strait. China gave its reply by air.

Can you send fighter jets across Tasmania or WA?

They are looking for a place to land and defect.

they don't have to invade, they can strangle it with a Naval blockade and launch missle strikes

Could have something to do with Taiwan’s defence zone covering a large chunk of the mainland

i sympathize with the vast majority of Taiwanese who apparently don't want to be part of China but why does Australia, America etc. agree with the 'one China' policy? It's all confusing & contradictory. China has made its intentions very clear, for a very long time.

Why ? Nobody like the virus cause will stand up against China ,AlBo Not one peep from Federal Labour Party why u ask ,

CCP are bullying Taiwan because there have been a few countries speaking about Taiwan at the UN praising Taiwan on their handling of covid and saying Taiwan should be included as a member of the UN. CCP are just disgusting.

Fall in love with Wu Zhaoxie, so there is a cute behavior of drawing lines on the table of elementary school students, and if you cross over, you will be punished.

Ffs...... Stop being America's sock puppets.

Why do you care?

Because it's none of your business?

Why?

Taiwan is China... what part of history don't you understand? It's like Tasmania thinking they are not Australia

Maybe the end of the United front war, because the two sides haven't signed a formal cease fire agreement.

Why is so difficult for some idiots to understand that Taiwan is a Chinese province and Chinese Air Force must protect Chinese airspace?

Let's hope the RW Government and its Media don't talk up another War.
