This past Sunday, 39 Chinese warplanes — including one bomber — entered Taiwan’s air defense zone.: In response to the Chinese incursion of the ADIZ, the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense scrambled its fighter jets and deployed air defense missile systems to monitor the Chinese planes’ activity. Last July, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to “reunify” with Taiwan and “smash” any attempts from the Taiwanese to attain formally recognized independence, Reuters said.
