Taiwan reports Chinese military surge. After a mysterious two-week absence, Taiwan's defence ministry detected 26 Chinese military aircraft near the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, marking a significant return to normal operational tempo. China typically conducts daily air operations around the island, but the pause from late February to early March sparked speculation about Beijing's strategic intentions. The resumption follows Taiwan President Lai Ching-te's call for increased defence spending and democratic protection, prompting sharp rhetoric from China's Taiwan Affairs Office warning against miscalculation. Analysts suggest the pause may have related to Trump's planned China visit or internal Chinese military restructuring.
