China-Taiwan Tensions Are Worst In Four Decades

Nikkei Asia: “Military tensions with China are at their worst in more than 40 years, Taiwan’s defense minister said on Wednesday, days after record numbers of Chinese aircraft flew into the island’s air defense zone.”

“Tensions have hit a new high between Taipei and Beijing, which claims the democratic island as its own territory, and Chinese military aircraft have repeatedly flown through Taiwan’s air defense identification zone.”

Times of London: “China has warned that ‘war may be triggered at any time’ with Taiwan after it deployed a record number of fighter jets into the self-governing island’s air identification zone.”
