It's clear what's taking place over Taiwan. This activity in Taiwan's air space is increasing. By all rights, isn't this an act of war and eventually, if not very soon, should Taiwan try to peacefully guide one or two of China's fighter jets to land (doubt said fighter jets would cooperate) or simply down one or two of those fighter jets? Is this too irrational and dangerous to attempt? Will it spark war between Taiwan and China? While on that subject, isn't that the intentions of Beijing too have a physical war with Taiwan by this time?
"The United States is very concerned by... China's provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing, risks miscalculations and undermines regional peace and stability," the US state department said.
"We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan."
On Saturday, a total of 39 Chinese military jets flew into the same area in two waves during the day and evening. It was the largest incursion by Beijing to date.
On Friday, four H-6 bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, and an anti-submarine aircraft were among the 38 that flew in two waves over the course of the day.
