Taiwan has reported a second day of large-scale Chinese air force incursion into its air defense zone, with 21 aircrafts spotted within the last 24 hours. China has been increasing its military activities near the island which it claims as its own territory, while Taiwan has expressed its concerns for the past three years.
Despite Taiwan's objections, China has justified its actions as necessary to protect its territorial integrity and has warned the United States against supporting Taiwan. The aircraft involved in the incursion was identified as 17 J-10 fighters and four J-16 fighters, and Taiwan's own forces monitored the situation and responded with their own planes.
On the previous day, the defense ministry of Taiwan reported a similar incident with 19 Chinese planes detected in its air defense zone.
