Reuters: Chinese fighter jets buzz Taiwan again, stoking tensions
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Chinese air force aircraft approached Taiwan on Thursday for the fifth time in 10 days, before being warned away by Taiwanese fighters, the island’s air force said, in a further ratcheting up of tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait.
The Chinese J-10 and J-11 fighter aircraft flew into the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone in the morning, Taiwan’s air force said in a statement.
Taiwanese fighters, which regularly patrol the air space around the Chinese-claimed island, warned the Chinese aircraft over the radio, whereupon they left Taiwan’s air defence zone, it added, without giving further details.
Since June 9, China’s air force has flown at least four other similar missions and were each time chased off by Taiwanese jets, according to Taiwan’s military.

Taiwan / Hongkong makes them feel incomplete. Keep dreaming CH
Look at the airplane. Those crewmen are tiny. I have a feeling this airplane is as big, or bigger, than a B-25 bomber of WWII.
China have to take decision quickly. If the "Taiwan Defense Act" is voted, nuclear weapons are on the table for protecting Taiwan. That's hot.
