Taiwan Sends fighter Jets to Intercept Aggression China Aircraft in South China Sea Taiwan has scrambled fighters four times over the past nine days to chase away Chinese military aircraft approaching the island, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing Taiwan’s military. The latest incident occurred Wednesday morning, when a Chinese J-10 fighter jet and a Y-8, certain variants of which can be used to conduct surveillance missions, penetrated Taiwan’s air defense identification zone. Taiwan’s air force said that patrolling fighters issued a verbal warning to the Chinese aircraft, which then “immediately left” the area.
