Closer yes, but not close. It could be PRC is using their “boiled frog” strategy against us now that they’ve been using in Taiwan. PLAAF has basically run a multi-wing sortie on a weekly basis through Taiwanese airspace for years now. It’s intended to apply psychological pressure against the civilian population while degrading airframes and revealing military response procedures. Difference is USMIL is not ROCMIL …
It could be the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Some PLA colonel has had a few too many bright ideas. Hard to say whether or not this is a coordinated strategy from the top of CCP or some drawn out military-political fiasco.

- missedthecue 4y agoPLAAF never enters Taiwanese air space. They only fly through international airspace within Taiwan's air defence identification zone. Taiwan's air defence identification zone actually overlaps not only the Taiwan Strait but multiple Chinese mainland provinces such as Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi.
- jszymborski 4y agoI think this comment is evidence of the 'boiling frog' theory.
- edgyquant 4y agoThe US is not Taiwan and attempting to “scare” its population would be a hilariously bad idea for China.
