China is threatening again. A few days before the inauguration of Taiwan’s new President Lai Ching-te, China has once again sent People’s Liberation Army fighter jets near the island, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense. Within 24 hours, the intrusion of 45 aircraft was recorded, marking the highest number of fighter jets this year. In March, Taiwanese authorities had counted 36 aircraft from the People’s Republic in one day.
