The audacity is too much! The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft directly took off to intercept! Our military exercise has just ended, and we didn't expect the US military aircraft to come causing trouble. The US sent multiple sorties of military aircraft in the Taiwan Strait to gather intelligence and provoke us. On April 2nd, a US RC-135W strategic reconnaissance aircraft approached the airspace north of Taiwan, followed by a P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft approaching the waters south of Kaohsiung near the Bashi Channel. This is not the end of it. On April 3rd, the US military aircraft made another move. This time, the US military aircraft entered the waters off Hengchun Town, southern Pingtung County, Taiwan Island, even intruding into the adjacent area within 24 nautical miles southwest of Taiwan Island. Clearly, in the face of our intimidating military exercises, the US is very eager to understand our bottom line, thus sending multiple sorties of military aircraft to the Taiwan Strait area. However, in the face of such provocative and sneaky actions by the US, we did not hesitate at all. We directly dispatched fighter jets for interception and had an escort standoff. In the eyes of the US, the US military aircraft were flying in what they called "international airspace," so they believed that the US military aircraft had the right to come and go freely. But we are well aware of their intentions. Therefore, our aircraft directly contacted the US aircraft to inquire about their intent and took immediate actions to drive them away, ultimately forcing them back. When they saw our forces driving away the US aircraft, people on the island were shocked out of their wits. In fact, upon seeing the US military aircraft coming, the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island felt bolstered, but they didn't expect that we would dare to confront the US head-on. Facing our PLA aircraft, the island also urgently launched F-16 fighters. Clearly, the island realized that our aircraft were getting too close to Taiwan Island. If we take action, the island will have no time to react. Clearly, the series of games in the airspace over the Taiwan Strait shows that our air power is already strong enough, and the Taiwan Strait is not a place for the US to run wild.
