Chinese bombers issue warning to US and allies

Beijing: About 14 Chinese fighter jets and bombers intruded Taiwanese airspace on Friday. Hours earlier, Chinese bombers flew over the Philippines marine region. China informed that the bombers were equipped with anti-warship missiles. While US President Joe Biden is in South Korea, the action of Chinese bombers is a warning to US allies in the region, including the United States.

Chinese bombers issue warning to US and alliesOn Friday, four J-11 fighter jets, five J-16 fighter jets, and an H-6 bomber entered Taiwan’s airspace. These Chinese planes hovered in the Taiwanese airspace for a long time. Taiwan then sent its fighter jets, forcing Chinese aircraft to retreat. The infiltration by Chinese fighter jets into Taiwanese borders is not as common as it seems, US analysts have warned.

As Russia launched its offensive against Ukraine on February 24, China infiltrated the Taiwanese border with warplanes. China will increase the intensity of intrusions in the coming times. With this, China is preparing to assert its sovereignty over Taiwanese airspace by expanding the airspace. US analysts have accused China of encroaching on Taiwan’s airspace for the past year.

There was a bomber in the convoy of Chinese warplanes entering the Taiwanese border. Two days ago, a bomber was deployed to accompany the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, patrolling the South China Sea.

The bombers were each fitted with two Chinese-made YJ-12 supersonic anti-warship missiles. Chinese analysts claim that China is patrolling with bombers equipped with anti-ship missiles to keep foreign troops away from Taiwan.

International leaders and analysts have warned that China will take action similar to the Russian action in Ukraine against Taiwan soon. China has denied the allegations, saying Taiwan cannot be compared to Ukraine. But a few days ago, satellite photographs exposed that China was preparing to attack Taiwan and the US island of Guam. China had practised the attack by replicating the northeastern part of Taiwan and parts of Guam. Therefore, China seems to be preparing to attack Taiwan and the US base if necessary.
