Seventy-one Chinese air force aircraft including fighter jets and drones entered Taiwan's air defense identification one in the past 24 hours, the island's government said on Monday, the largest reported incursion to date. Of the aircraft, 43 also crossed the Taiwan Strait's median line, an unofficial buffer between the two sides that lies within the defense zone, Taiwan's Defence Ministry said in a report, as Beijing continues military activities close to the Chinese-claimed island.

The White House said the United States was concerned by China's military activity near Taiwan, which it called "provocative" and "destabilizing," adding that it risked miscalculations and undermined regional stability. Taiwan's official Central News Agency said it was the largest Chinese air force incursion to date, although there was no sense of alarm on the island, which has witnessed a steady increase in Chinese pressure in recent years.
