Taiwan scrambled assets from its air force on March 14 to warn away 13 Chinese military aircraft that flew into its air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

The incursion is the latest in a two-year campaign of harassment and intimidation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as it seeks to coerce Taiwanese leadership away from ties with the West and to give up its democratic government.
