China's invasion of Taiwan looms

China Intensifies Military Presence Near Taiwan Amidst Drills

According to Newsweek, tensions mounted over the weekend as a Chinese military drone circled Taiwan's airspace amidst Taiwan's largest-ever Han Kuang military exercises.

The maneuvers paralleled Taiwan’s efforts to ready itself against potential conflicts, framing a stark picture of the region’s strained dynamics.

As Taiwan began its comprehensive war games aimed at defending against a potential amphibious assault, its air force repositioned jets like the F-16V Fighting Falcons from western bases to eastern ones closer to the Philippine Sea.
