The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt transits the Pacific Ocean January 15, 2021. The Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group deployed to the South China Sea over the weekend in a US commitment to freedom of the seas, the US Navy said. (CNN)China dispatched two large formations of warplanes close to the self-governing island of Taiwan over the weekend, presenting a significant foreign policy challenge to new United States President Joe Biden just days into his administration.
Taiwan s Defense Ministry said 13 Chinese planes entered the southwestern portion of the island s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Saturday followed by 15 on Sunday, prompting Taipei to take defensive measures, including scrambling fighter jets to monitor the Chinese flights.
