China Mysteriously Cuts PLA Flights Into Sensitive Taiwan Areas

China hasn’t dispatched a single warplane near Taiwan for the past seven days, a mysterious shift that amounts to Beijing’s longest absence since Taipei started regularly disclosing the activity.

People’s Liberation Army aircraft have been missing from Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone — an area that Taiwan closely monitors but is different from its territorial air space — since last Friday, according to the island’s Ministry of Defense.
