The incursions come days after US President Joe Biden issued a strong warning to China over Taiwan.
during his visit to Asia that concluded last week - his first visit to the region as president.
He said China was "already flirting with danger right now by flying so close" to Taiwan, and issued his strongest warning to China yet, saying the US would be willing to respond military if Beijing were to invade the island. His words appeared to mark a shift from the US' longstanding policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan, which allowed the US to remain deliberately vague about its response in such a situation.
China's military said last week it had recently conducted an exercise around Taiwan as a "solemn warning" against its "collusion" with the United States. Monday's incursion took place as US senator Tammy Duckworth arrived in Taipei on an unannounced visit to discuss matters of regional security and trade with Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen.China and Taiwan were divided during a civil war in the 1940s, but Beijing insists the island will be reclaimed at some point, by force if necessaryThe island has its own constitution, democratically elected leaders, and about 300,000 active troops in its armed forcesOnly a few countries recognise Taiwan.
