Taiwanese defense officials have revealed that China undertook a record-breaking 22 warplane sorties and 10 naval vessel patrols around its territory on Monday, heightening tensions in the region.

These sorties have been termed provocative and destabilizing by Democratic Representative to the US, Mark Takano, who further commented that China's aggressive actions pose a serious threat to the security and sovereign territory of Taiwan.

Monday's incursions marked a new record, with 15 out of 22 sorties crossing the median line and entering Taiwan's northern and southwestern air defense identification zones (ADIZ). In the eastern corner of the ADIZ, Chinese helicopters were also spotted transporting landing craft, which may suggest that a potential amphibious landing is in the works.

This recent escalation in military activities comes amidst fears that China may be planning to invade Taiwan, an independent country that Beijing views as a renegade province.

These aggressive actions by China prompt questions about how Taiwan, and its allies, will respond to increasing Chinese aggression and the broader implications this may have for regional security and sovereignty.
