China's moves coincide with the start of the Biden administration, which has shown support for Taiwan.

Sunday's operation involved 12 fighters, two anti-submarine aircraft and a reconnaissance plane, the ministry said. In both occasions, Taiwan's air force warned away the aircraft and deployed missiles to monitor them, it added.

The substance of the new administration's policies on China and Taiwan remains to be seen but, in response to Saturday's operation, US state department spokesman Ned Price said the US would continue to deepen its ties with the island. Lo Chih-cheng, a senior lawmaker for Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, said China's moves were an attempt to deter the new US government from backing the island. "It's sending a message to the Biden administration," he told the Reuters news agency.China and Taiwan have had separate governments since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.

The is the testing of Biden starting already!

Bidens been in less than a week and already being tested , they wouldn’t have done it with trump

China has already won world war 3 , exactly the same result has just happened

A early test to BidenAdministration Silence so far

They do what they want without serious criticism. If criticised they will play the racism card just like they did with Covid, yet they are one of the most racist countries on earth.

Oooh a plane.

Testing Biden before the seat is even warm

Probably spraying coronavirus

Intimidating the Intimidater

You would know that Trump is gone.

What a surprise that lovely friendly Chinese government again!

Precisely it is not incursion, both ROC and PRC is China whatever you like CCP or KMT. No international recognition of an independent country called 'Taiwan'.

China can do what they want. They know it.

China has their man in the White House, so they feel they can push the Taiwan issue.

Shoot them down.

Just wait until POTUS hears about this! 😂😳

After 4 years of distraction we can turn our attention to what’s been happening elsewhere - china have been making many moves

The world needs to say “No” to China

I suppose Boris and his Mates will condemn this in there usual way by saying “it’s Appalling” 😀😀

Posturing as per

I wonder when was the last time the BBC reported how Israel violates Lebanese airspace all the time to launch attacks in Syria against those fighting ISIS... never? Oh, not surprised.

No fear now, is there?

They'll make them Taipei for that!
