China Rattling Its Sabers Toward Taiwan While Declaring Commitment to Peace

On October 2, China escalated its military threats toward Taiwan with a record number of incursions into Taiwan’s airspace. Two separate incursions took place with 20 planes in the daytime and 19 at night.

Shortly before, Chinese President Xi Jinping (Sept. 22) told the UN General Assembly: “China has never and will never invade or bully others, or seek hegemony.”
