China's Warplanes Approach Taiwan as Island Gears Up for Anti-Invasion Drills

China sent dozens of warplanes, including fighter jets and bombers, toward Taiwan as the island prepares for military exercises aimed at defending itself against a possible invasion. The Chinese People's Liberation Army sent 37 aircraft and seven navy vessels around Taiwan, with 22 warplanes crossing the unofficial boundary of the Taiwan Strait. China has been increasingly showing displeasure at political activities in Taiwan by escalating military actions, including firing missiles and conducting combat readiness drills.
