Chinese Forces Breach Airspace Four Times During National Day Holiday

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Jo Young-shin] Taiwanese media reported that U.S. military aircraft were dispatched after Chinese military aircraft violated Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).

According to Taiwan's Central News Agency on the 7th, the Taiwan Air Force Command sent patrol aircraft and used radio communication to urge the departure of a Chinese military Y-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft that entered the southwestern Taiwan ADIZ on the 6th.

On the 6th, following the intrusion of Chinese military aircraft, the U.S. also dispatched military aircraft to check the Chinese forces.

Taiwan's Apple Daily cited the aviation tracking Twitter account "Callsign (CANUK78)" reporting that the U.S. military's Rivet Joint (RC-135W) reconnaissance aircraft flew in the southwestern Taiwan ADIZ where Chinese military aircraft were active, then moved toward the South China Sea.

Additionally, the U.S. Navy's electronic reconnaissance aircraft EP-3 conducted reconnaissance activities targeting China while moving along the boundary line of the southwestern Taiwan ADIZ.

Since the National Day holiday on the 1st, Chinese military aircraft have intruded into Taiwan's ADIZ four times.

Since the visit of U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Keith Krach to Taiwan on the 16th of last month, the Chinese military has pressured Taiwan by entering the Taiwan ADIZ on a total of 12 days.

Meanwhile, on the 6th, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen visited an air force base in Pingtung County in the south and stated, "At a time when our people face threats from the Chinese Communist Party, we must show our determination through more precise expressions that we will not concede even an inch of our territory and sovereignty."
