Taiwan Reports Largest Ever Incursion By Chinese Air Force - World Defence News World Defence News Bureau : Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island's defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait.
