Dozens of warplanes took off from China triggering radar stations in Taiwan as Chinese military aircraft swarmed the island’s air defense zone.
The office of Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense department later announced that it had detected 28 Chinese military planes—a single-day record.
A radio log of activity in Taiwan’s self-declared air defense identification zone (ADIZ) showed PLA aircraft were detected at altitudes between 5,000 and 7,800 meters (about 16,400 and 25,600 feet).
According to the transcript of correspondence on the aeronautical emergency frequency 121.5 MHz, at least one Chinese pilot responded to a ROCAF broadcast identifying himself as a member of the PLA Naval Air Force “conducting a routine mission.”
The large incursion into the southwest corner of Taiwan’s ADIZ comes after 10 days of relative quiet.
The Chinese military’s return to “gray-zone” activity around Taiwan follows President Joe Biden’s attendance of key summits with G7 and NATO allies, both of which resulted in firm rebukes of Beijing’s actions.
Monday’s NATO joint statement highlighted China’s ambitions and assertive behavior, which “present systemic challenges to the rules-based international order and to areas relevant to Alliance security.”
The leaders raised concerns about “coercive policies,” in China’s expanding nuclear arsenal as well as the lack of transparency in its ongoing modernization of the PLA.
The G7 leaders in a communique included several direct and indirect mentions of China, pushing Beijing for cooperation in COVID-19 origin tracing, fair trade practices and human rights.
The statement also expressed serious concerns about developments in the East and South China Seas. Notably, it called for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
The Chinese responded by decrying “wanton smearing of China and blatant interference in its internal affairs,” and described the G7’s statements as an attempt to form a “clique” to suppress China’s development.
The U.S. Navy’s Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group has entered the South China Sea, while the U.K.’s Royal Navy flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth is also headed for the Indo-Pacific region.
