New Delhi, 05 October 2021

As per news report of BBC, Monday's incursion marks the fourth straight day of incursions by Chinese aircraft, with almost 150 aircraft sent into Taiwan's defence zone in total. Some analysts say the flights could be seen as a warning to Taiwan's president ahead of the island's national day. Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province. However, democratic Taiwan sees itself as a sovereign state.Taiwan has been reporting for more than a year that China's air force has been repeatedly flying nearby.The latest Chinese mission included 34 J-16 fighters and 12 nuclear-capable H-6 bombers, which all flew in an area near the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands, according to a map provided by the Taiwanese government.
