Ten Chinese aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, normally an unofficial barrier between the two sides, Taiwan's defence ministry said on Saturday, as Beijing continues its military activities near the island.
Nine Chinese fighter jets and one military drone crossed the median line in the 24 hours to 6 a.m. on Saturday , the ministry said in its daily report on Chinese military activities.
Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory despite the island's objections, has complained in recent years of almost daily missions by the Chinese air force near the democratically governed island, often in the southwestern part of its air defence identification zone. China staged war games around Taiwan in August after then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei, and has continued military activities near Taiwan, though on a reduced scale.

Taiwan's president speaks to her island's safety on US stopTaiwan's president has addressed members of New York community in a stopover there. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's appearance in the U.S. is angering China, which warned Thursday it was watching her travel closely. Tsai spoke to Taiwanese in New York to thank the U.S. for its security assistance. She said, “the safer Taiwan is, the safer the world will be.” China considers self-ruled Taiwan as its territory, and objects to any official interaction between the U.S. and Taiwan. Tsai and other Taiwanese presidents term any stops in the U.S. as simply “transits.” Tsai is en route to Central America to shore up her island's allies there.
