Taiwan reported 26 Chinese military aircraft in the prior 24 hours on Mar 15, marking a return to larger-scale activity after more than two weeks of reduced flights. The episode suggests Beijing may be modulating military pressure alongside intensified political messaging and potential diplomatic timing considerations.
The source reports that Taiwan detected 26 PLA aircraft sorties over a weekend period, with 16 entering Taiwan’s ADIZ, ending roughly two weeks of relative calm. The timing alongside Beijing’s criticism of William Lai’s speech suggests a deliberate coupling of military signalling with political messaging.
