Thailand announced on Tuesday that in the last 24 hours, 59 Chinese military aircraft were spotted infiltrating its airspace.
This has already become a common occurrence, as China conducts periodic air patrols into Taiwan's airspace, which raises concerns in Taiwan. Recently, the President of Taiwan stated that such military presence threatens stability in the region. The manifestation of escalating military activity from China comes against the backdrop of strained relations between Taiwan and Beijing following the transfer of authority on the island to the pro-independence party. The latest case of increased Chinese military actions recently occurred while Taiwan's representative in the US was visiting.
