Taiwan Airspace
China again violates Taiwan airspace
Intensifying its tense relationship with Taiwan, China once again violated the region's airspace while the PLA Navy (PLAN) commissioned its fourth new Type 052D destroyer on July 4.
The Chinese incursion prompted the self-governing island to issue warnings to Beijing in a radio broadcast and deploy air defense missile radar to monitor the PLAAF plane, reports Eurasian Times.
Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence tweeted: "The Chinese incursion prompted the self-governing island to issue warnings to Beijing in a radio broadcast and deploy air defense missile radar to monitor the PLAAF plane."
