38 Chinese warplanes infiltrate Taiwan’s air defense zone in largest reported breach
On Friday, China sent a new record-setting 38 warplanes towards Taiwan, including 32 fighter jets, four nuclear-capable bombers, an anti-submarine warfare aircraft and an airborne early warning aircraft.
According to the Minister of National Defense for the Republic of China — the formal name for the Taiwanese government — China sent the 38 military aircraft into the southwest section of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in two separate waves.
The first wave of 25 aircraft included 18 J-16 and four Su-30 fighter jets, two nuclear-capable H-6 bombers and a Y-8 antisubmarine warfare aircraft.
"25 PLA aircraft (J-16*18, SU-30*4, H-6*2 and Y-8 ASW) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on October 1, 2021. Please check our official website for more information,†Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense tweeted.

The Taiwanese military reportedly issued radar warnings, activated missile defense systems and deployed aircraft to respond to the initial aerial incursion.
Hours after the first wave of 25 Chinese military aircraft came through, a second smaller wave of 13 Chinese military aircraft again entered Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ. The second wave included 10 more J-16 fighter jets, two more H-6 bombers and a KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft.
"13 PLA aircrafts (J-16*10, H-6*2 and KJ-500*1) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on October 1, 2021. Please check our official website for more information,†Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense tweeted.

The Taiwanese military said it again issued radar warnings, activated missile defense systems and deployed aircraft to respond to the initial aerial incursion.
The new record-setting Chinese military flight comes as the Chinese military has, for months, sent its warplanes into Taiwan’s ADIZ.
The previous record high number of Chinese military aircraft flown into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) was 28. The record high before that came in April when 25 PLA aircraft entered the Taiwanese ADIZ. During that previous record-setting Chinese military flight, Chinese warplanes were also observed flying what looked like practice runs of strikes on U.S. warships operating in the region near the Philippines. In March, China sent 20 military aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ.
While Taiwan governs itself as an independent nation, China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.

What a surprise... and Slow-Joe doesn't probably even know where Taiwan is.

This whole brouhaha should be taken with a large grain of salt - that is to say, treated as the propaganda that it is. The "Air Defense Identification Zone" into which the Chinese planes flew is an immense area, defined by the United States (not by Taiwan) several decades ago, which includes large areas of mainland China.

And, the US warships which the Chinese aircraft overflew were only nominally "near the Philippines," and were in fact operating in the South China Sea.

Nevertheless, Bill, the ChiComs desperately want Taiwan under their control, because Taiwan has a properly-functioning economy. And because they believe they should own all that part of the world anyhow.
And Slow-Joe is in China's pocket, so he can't say anything to deter them. Things are going from bad to worse and worst than that, in that part of the world. All because we have a weak government here.

You got it Dana.
It matters not if we are in our own area of international waters or not; it DOES matter if China is buzzing Taisanese airspace. They want that piece of real estate and this is an open provocation.
