TAIPEI - A Chinese bomber flew over the strategically sensitive sea separating Taiwan from the mainland on Friday , the self-ruled island's defence department said.
"The H-6 bomber passed through our southwestern territorial waters and to the Bashi Channel where it circled back to base," the Friday statement said.On Feb 10, a Chinese military jet briefly crossed the median line separating the two sides in the first major incursion since Beijing-wary President Tsai Ing-wen was re-elected in January.
A military commentator told Chinese state-run newspaper Global Times that the drills were"to warn Taiwan secessionists and also demonstrate the PLA's capability to solve the Taiwan question by force", referring to China's military. A day later, two American B-52 bombers and a MC-130J Commando II aircraft flew over the waterway to conduct"synchronised training south of the Taiwan Strait", US Pacific Air Force spokesman Victoria Hight said in a statement.
