Reuters ^ | 3-26-21 | Reuters Staff

Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island’s defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait.

It marked the largest incursion to date by the Chinese air force since Taiwan’s defence ministry began disclosing almost daily Chinese military flights over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea last year.

Shoot a couple of them down.

That would really force Xi and his cronies to make some decisions.

There’s the air zone and there’s the air above the land. They should invite the Chicoms to fly over the land.

More & more I feel like we are reliving the 1930’s all over again...
A leftist-socialist American government twiddled & twaddled until the japs attacked thinking we would simply sue for peace...
Real Americans rolled up their sleeves and kicked the slant-eyed bastards in the scrotum...

This time, the chicoms have already attacked and the cowardly Americans simply rolled over and got into a permanent fetal position...

When the chicoms formerly declare war, America will immediately surrender and beg for more cheap goods...

Cant believe that as advanced as Taiwan is, they don’t have anything set up to counter these idiots?

The Chicoms are beating their chests. It’s only fodder for propaganda to delude their own population of slaves.

If China attacks Taiwan countries around China like India might take advantage of it and grab some of China

I think it is classic pre attack intelligence gathering and deception tactics.

See how the Taiwan forces react, condition them to a routine then one day have the whole freakin' chicom military hit'em when they aren't looking for it. It worked in Korea.

Then you could count on the US as an ally and they had time to turn it around. This time, Taiwan will have neither.

They should invite the Chicoms to fly over the land.

That would make them easier to capture when they bail out after being shot up by American trained Taiwan pilots.

Makes for great POW bargaining.

They're not beating their chests, they're probing Taiwan and the U.S.

China has spies everywhere, including in the Deep State and Congress. Some of their spies don't even realize they are spies.

They probe and then note the response from all sources.

China may never declare war "officially"...but they are already at war with us.
