With world's eyes on Ukraine, China intrudes on Taiwanese air space

Communist nation made it clear it does not fear U.S.

As Vladimir Putin and Russia take advantage of a weak U.S. president by invading Ukraine, the Chinese are also rattling sabers and the threat to Taiwan is growing. As proof of that, on Thursday, the communist nation sent threatening warplanes into Taiwan's airspace.

On the same day Putin's forces launched an invasion of Ukraine, Chinese military jets were once again making incursions inside Taiwan's territory, making it clear that China does not fear the United States.

Taiwanese authorities said "eight Chinese J-16 fighters and one Y-8 reconnaissance aircraft, which flew over an area to the northeast of the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands at the top end of the South China Sea," Reuters reported.

China also again warned the United States to stay out of its business where it concerns Taiwan.

"We urge the U.S. side to recognize the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue, stop interfering in China's internal affairs and stop playing with fire on the Taiwan issue," Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Tan Kefei said on Thursday.
