Biden’s Taiwan Test

“The Chinese military has flown a record 145 fighter planes into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone during the past four days, escalating Beijing’s campaign of intimidation toward the self-governing island,” Axios reports.

“President Biden has emphasized the need to ensure his strategy of ‘vigorous competition’ with China ‘does not veer into conflict.’ China’s growing aggression toward Taiwan is drawing fresh fears of a catastrophic war and threatens to put that rhetoric to the ultimate test.”

Bloomberg: “The 56 People’s Liberation Army aircraft that entered Taiwan’s air-defense-identification zone Monday represented the largest such incursion to date, and followed a similar record over the weekend.”
