Taiwan Reports Significant Chinese Military Activity Amid US-China Tensions

Detection of 30 Chinese military aircraft around Taiwan highlights rising 'grey zone' warfare following Biden-Xi phone call.

Taiwan detected 30 Chinese military aircraft around the island within a 24-hour period, marking one of the highest daily counts this year.
The increase in Chinese military activity around Taiwan follows a recent phone call between President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Taiwan's defense ministry reported that 20 of the detected aircraft crossed into Taiwan's Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ).
The actions are part of what experts call 'grey zone' warfare, which includes moves that fall short of outright acts of war.
Taiwan's current Vice President Lai Ching-te, who is disliked by Beijing, won the January 13 presidential election and will take office on May 20.
