China sends four military aircraft towards Taiwan airspace hours after Indiana's governor met nation's president in another show of defiance against the CCP
2022-08-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The four aircraft crossed the median line, an unofficial barrier in the Taiwan strait

  • Eric Holcomb, the Republican governor of Indiana, landed in Taiwan on Sunday

  • He then met with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen on Monday in Taipei

  • Holcomb emphasized the economic nature of his visit, mentioning that the state is among the top in the U.S. for direct foreign investment

  • US-China tensions have risen since Beijing staged huge military drills in retaliation for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month
