According to the Ministry of National Defense, over Christmas Day Saturday (Dec. 25), China sent a Shaanxi Y-8 anti-submarine warfare (ASW) plane into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone .
The Air Force sends aircraft, offers radio warnings to Chinese jets, and deploys air defence missile systems to monitor their actions whenever an intrusion occurs.
The aircraft arrived in the ADIZ zone southwest of Taiwan’s main island, as it had done on most previous instances since the military began sharing daily details about the incursions in September 2020.
The biggest number of incursions this year occurred in early October, with a total of 56 planes participating on October 4. On October 1, China celebrated its national day, while on October 10, Taiwan celebrated its Double Ten.
