It's very concerning, as it was last year when they were doing it.  Although China has more than doubled the number of jets going into Taiwan's airspace, so they are obviously pushing the envelope.

So, do you think the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and Biden's plummeting job approval rating will not lead to increased Chinese aggression? Or are the increased incursions into the defense zone by China just a coincidence?

I think that the events are related. China would like to intimidate Taiwan and convince its government that reunification is inevitable and that the U.S. is too weak to protect them. China wants Taiwan's semiconductor industry in one piece.
