Taiwan blasts China for 'reckless' fighter jet incursion.

Taipei hit out at China on Sunday for what it said was a"reckless and provocative" incursion by two fighter jets across a largely respected line dividing the two sides in the Taiwan Strait.

"It was an intentional, reckless and provocative action. We've informed regional partners and condemn China for such behavior," the ministry added. The flights come a week after the US sailed a destroyer and a coastguard ship through the Taiwan Strait, angering Beijing. Washington diplomatically recognises China over Taiwan but remains the island's chief military ally and arms supplier.Since 2002, the US has repeatedly denied such requests, fearing a possible backlash from Beijing.
