The ADIZ is not Taiwanese airspace. It's an arbitrary, unilaterally defined area that extends well into international airspace and even into continental China.
As far as I know mainland Chinese planes have always stayed in their air space or international air space.
This is reported in a way that is either misleading or plainly incorrect for 'propaganda' purposes. For instance, the second article you quote is plainly a pile of cr*p.
There is a map of Taiwan's ADIZ on Wikipedia from a slide by the Taiwanese military about a Chinese 'violation [1]. You can see that it extends well beyond national air space and that, in that slide, Chinese planes never came close to Taiwanese air space. This is fairly typical of what makes headlines as "Chinese incursion into Taiwan's air defence zone"...
