In a clear message to President Joe Biden, China sent at least 15 military aircraft into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Sunday, January 24, just four days after Biden’s Inauguration. This was the highest number of Chinese military aircraft breaching Taiwan’s ADIZ in one day so far this year.
Previously China would send between one and three planes into Taiwan’s ADIZ, though much larger numbers have also been seen in recent months.
The day beforethat, on Saturday January 23, China launched upwards of 13 military aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ.
Fifteen PLA aircraft (Y-8 ASW*2、SU-30*2、J-16*4、J-10*6、Y-8 RECCE*1) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on Jan. 24, 2021. Please check our official website for more information: https://t.co/lJ8ddkMvl5 pic.twitter.com/tQV0SoPuWR

Per the Taiwanese (Republic of China) Ministry of Defense (ROC MOD), one Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, four J-16 jet fighters and eight multi-engine long-range H-6k bombers were included in Saturday’s 13 aircraft incursion. Taiwan’s Air Force reportedly scrambled a total of 26 jet fighters to counter seven of these incursions in the southwest corner of its ADIZ, the Liberty Times reported.
The Sunday incursions with 15 aircraft, according to the ROC MOD, consisted of two Y-8s, SU-30 strike fighters, four J-16 fighters, six J-10 fighters, and one Y-8 reconnaissance plane. These incursions were all near the Pratas Islands.
“Airborne alert sorties had been tasked, radio warnings issued, and air defense missile systems deployed to monitor the activity,” the ROC MOD said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group entered the South China Sea on Saturday to promote “freedom of the seas,” the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement.
“After sailing through these waters throughout my 30-year career, it’s great to be in the South China Sea again, conducting routine operations, promoting freedom of the seas, and reassuring allies and partners,” Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of the strike group, was quoted as saying by NBC News.
Significantly, Taiwan’s de facto ambassador in Washington, Hsiao Bi-khim, attended Biden’s swearing-in on Wednesday. According to ABS-CBN News, Emily Horne, spokeswoman for the Biden National Security Council, said soon after that the U.S. commitment to Taiwan was “rock-solid.”
Joe Biden will now have to show how he will respond to an increasingly belligerent China, even as he has said at times prior to his election that he intends to ‘normalize’ relations with the communist regime, after President Trump’s more assertive and confrontational approach.
Biden will only defend his family. All dems should know that already….
You are correct and Biden CERTAINLY will not defend American citizens, much less allies of the US.
Biden is still trying to find a corner in the Oval Office
Now THAT IS FUNNY RIGHT THERE! ahahaha
What’s wrong with the basement? He is used to that
Hes hunting for the basement to hide in
Your right he should put on his dunce hat and stand in the corner !
Biden Will just bend over again
Wonder if Camilla will give him mouth to s#** on.
I believe he’d throw his own family under the bus if it gave him more ‘power’ Such a ‘creep’
Joe Biden trying to stand up to the Chinese, that’s like Major League baseball standing up to steroid use!
I think it’s clear China owns Biden. I’m surprised China didn’t just take the island by now. I think it’ll certainly happen by March. Matter of fact I’m wondering if they’re going to send an envoy to Biden – Hi, about our payoff, we want Taiwan now. Go ahead? Please pull all US assets out of the area like Obama did at the end of his presidency.
They have done this for two straight days, where is our so-called leadership?
Very good question indeed .
While Biden is so busy undoing what Trump did China is sending missells way to go Joe
Senile Joe was too busy smelling female hair styles!
SURE HE WILL! I’m sure the Chinese have told Sleepy Joe just how to react so they can get first strike on Taiwan. I live in New Mexico and Commie Obiden has stopped oil drilling on federal land. Now I’m getting Texts wanting me to call congress about it. They claim they will lose a lot of tax money and 60,000 jobs. New Mexico voted for that fool, so let them deal with it. He said what he was going to do along with air head AOC, but they didn’t listen. OH Well Stuff Happens.
wait till the idiots that voted for Dementia Joe get $4.00+ a gallon gas prices.
His admin seems to think we all live with public transportation.
So by ” normalizing ” I assume that means let them do as they please? Maybe the Asshole (Joe B.) COULD SELL THEM OUR CARRIER FLEET. IT WOULD PAY FOR PELOSI S TRILLION PLUS STIMULUS PACKAGE and the Chinese won’t have to spend all the money we waste buying their junk on military production.
LEAVE IT TO DUMB-ASS BIDEN TO LET CHINA HAVE THEIR WAY ——— AND AS DIVIOUS AS CHINA IS LIKE PELSOI SAMETHING — THEY WILL WAIT AND THEN SEND US A DAMN BOMB IN TO THE MIDDLE OF OUR COUNTRY. BIDEN IS A EMPTY HEADED FOOL TO TRUST CHINA AT ALL.! HIM KEEP IT UP AND WE ALL WILL BE SPEAKING CHINESE. THE CHINESE LEADER IS A MONSTER IN DISGUISE.
He has always advocated for Taiwan to be part of red China just like what happened to Hong Kong
It’s not just our USA that Biden has made more at risk from our enemies, and making our country more dangerous from foreign military attacks, but the entire world. China has Joe’s number, and Joe, Kamala, and the entire demonRAT party mafia and their mobs are compromised, and China OWNS them all. And, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Syria, as well.
Yes he failed, but he and his family probably made $50 million dollars for the payoff
The weak, fraudulent President Screamin’ Joe Biden will fail every Chine, Iran, North Korea and Russia test. He was a long-term SENATOR, with no decision-making experience. It’s what we now have.
I suppose that Dear Uncle Joe will ask them to please not do that anymore? Or will he threaten China with taking them out behind the gym? Hmmmmm?
He’ll probably take a clue from Obama’s “Pet Phrase” i only just saw it on the TV !
America We were warned if you allowed the democrats to cheat & take over But 50 % of the nation did not listen. Now we will pay the price. Unless we impeach the Bidden/Harris administration which will we a up hill battle. . Then next you have to get rich of all the 80 yr. old in Congress along with the Republican RINO’S.
There is a a saying some where that this “NATION WILL HANG BY A THREAD & IF IT IS TO BE SAVED IT WILL BE SAVED BY THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH”.
I was just listening to a gentleman who said there were warnings to this nation in the bible. & the USA was referred to Bablelon & lady Liberty was modeled after the the whore of Bablelon. Of the 4 horseman would add another & he would be red horseman
But as long as the USA stood strong then the rest of the nations would also. But the red horseman alluded tot the Chinese & the Russians. The USA had to stand strong against them
If the USA fell then all the other nations would also.
What I read was interesting. & what it alluded too is what is going on in the USA today
We really need to boycott any businesses who have not supported President Trump. When their pockets feel the pinch they in turn will demand action of our reps and senators. The only thing the elite understand in money. We the people have lived with our heads in the sand WAY TOO LONG–and as a result we find ourselves not even able to have a honest election. Come on people email your reps and senators or call them constantly. Make their lives miserable until they START WORKING FOR US
They never pay attention to us. Mine lied to me 3 times.
For sure these people who voted for him and lost job on the day of inauguration for to Idiotic EO – Keystone Pipeline got first hand of “UNITY” and “WE ARE FOR PEOPLE”. Little people and unity on full display. There as hell will be more like it.
We should be happy Biden didn’t pee his pants when the jets flew over Taiwan…and Harris was laughing so hard she did pee her pants….!!!!
Joe will respond after he comes out from under his bed
TRUMP is the only President since Truman that didn’t start a war. China Biden won’t make it 6 months.
Impeach Biden
