China has sent nearly 40 warplanes toward Taiwan just days before the island plans to hold military exercises to practise defending itself from a potential invasion.

Taiwan is set to conduct annual military exercises next week, including combat readiness drills, and to prepare its civilians for evacuations in the case of a possible air raid.

The evacuation exercise has drawn attention because it represents a significant departure from previous years – while normally people are just asked to go indoors for 30 minutes while the air raid sirens sound, this week police will escort anyone out on the street at the time of the drill to their nearest bomb shelter.

The drills are also covering a much greater sample of the population than previously, covering districts that account for a combined three million of Taiwan’s 23 million people, according to the Financial Times.

If Taiwan is upset about the Chinese military flying or sailing in their area, why don't THEY do something about it?

Not just wait for another country to come fight for them?

Biden has done nothing about China except spout a load of drivel.

 

All mouth no trousers.

If 4 of those 40 Chinese made fighters survive during a real combat. ????

I donno hopefully you are correct but I wouldn’t underestimate them now as far as carrier operations that will definitely take them time to become proficient
