Of those aircraft, the ministry said 10 had either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two sides, or entered the southwestern part of Taiwan's air defence identification zone, or ADIZ.

you would find that 10 aircrafts either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait or entered the southwestern part of the ADIZ. Neither of those is "flying over mainland China."

It's still international airspace, so it's a moot point.

It is, but it was clearly done to provoke Taiwan. Calling this a moot point is like saying that laughing at homeless people is fine because it is not illegal.

Ah yes, China provokes other nations militarily, just don't look at who's bases surround them. The only one chomping at the bit for war here is the US

There's only like upwards of 200 US military bases surrounding China but it's Chinese aggression we must condemn 🤷‍♀️

It was very aggressive of China to put their country so close to those bases you know

Cool, now Taiwan is "another nation" when it is convenient for you.

The US is who was being referred to, unless you think that it's Taiwanese military bases littering the world. amerikkka
