This is the cost of having a feeble old man suffering from dementia in the Oval Office. China has been sending unambiguous messages to Taiwan since Biden took office that the country cannot trust the United States to come to its defense but 19 fighter jets in Taiwan's Air Defense Zone is a new high. Our enemies will continue to exploit the Biden/Harris administration's weakness until the pair is replaced by two competent, healthy humans. That may be too late for Taiwan.

China’s Military Jets Repeatedly Fly Into Taiwan’s Air Defense Zone Since Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal: Report

In the days after the disastrous withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan under the direction of President Biden, ceding the country to the Taliban and engendering the perception around the world of American weakness, Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets, have been flying repeatedly into Taiwan’s air defense zone.

“A total of 19 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets, flew into Taiwan’s southwestern air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Sunday, the fourth time this has taken place in September, according to the Ministry of National Defense,” Focus Taiwan reported on Sunday, adding, “The aircraft involved were 10 J-16 multi-role fighters, four H-6 bombers, four SU-30 fighters, and one Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, according to a report released by the ministry.”

“An air defence identification zone is an area outside of a country’s territory and national airspace but where foreign aircraft are still identified, monitored, and controlled in the interest of national security,” the BBC explained.
