State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement Sunday that the United States was"very concerned" by what he called China's"provocative military activity near Taiwan." He added that it was"destabilizing, risks miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability."
“We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan,” he said.China has been sending military planes into the area south of Taiwan on a frequent basis for more than a year in an apparent effort to step up military and political pressure. The ADIZ is the type of airspace that many countries define around their territories as a way to monitor air traffic but is not recognized by international law.
Beijing views Taiwan as an illegitimate breakaway province which is part of its territory. When the civil war in between the communists and nationalists ended in 1949 with the former triumphant, the latter set up a rival government in Taipei.

US raises concern as China flies warplanes south of TaiwanChina flew 16 warplanes over waters south of Taiwan on Sunday as the U.S. expressed concern about what it called “provocative military action.” China has been sending military planes into the area south of Taiwan on a frequent basis for more than a year. Wonder if those planes use any American made parts? I'd have thought surrounding the Chinese with military bases and aircraft carrier groups was the greater provocative military act, poor Taiwan is stuck in the middle, a reachable pawn in the American poke tiger game. The U.S government and Chinese government are in bed together. Just a show.

Chinese warplanes fly toward Taiwan for 2nd straight dayTAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China flew more than 30 military planes toward Taiwan on Saturday, the second large display of force in as many days. Taiwan's Defense Ministry said 39 aircraft entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone in two sorties, one during the day and one at night. Fuck China, basically. The Taiwan air defense zone, which they made up themselves with no international recognition, contains more of mainland China than Taiwan itself. Why, ppl flying drones in Fujian are encroaching on their airspace, but we don't see that on the news do we 😂
