That's exactly what type of traffic these articles are alerting. Which is why there's no need to even pay attention to it.
Also Thailand has had Chinese military visit it's country as well as trained with Chinese soldiers. If you know so little, why comment?
The quoted text in your reply says that the jets crossed a half way point over the sea. They were not over mainland China.
This feels like having a conversation with bing's chat bot.
This is what the original post quoted. Flying over international air space is NOT news worthy. Unless China does it, suddenly it's news. And yes, in case you don't understand, the median line IS international air space. In fact, that's USA's whole point of freedom of navigation is that anyone can fly or sail over that median line.
So if your argument that countries shouldn't freely fly or sail over the Taiwan Strait, you agree with China, NOT Taiwan.
My argument is that you shouldn't fly military aircraft so close to a country in their ADIZ after stating you don't believe they're a country and that you will take them over with violent means if necessary.
Ah classic, your all for rule of law until there's an actor you don't like following rule of law. Suddenly the law should change just for them. Hypocrite.
