China’s gray zone intrusion is getting worse! After four armed Chinese Coast Guard ships broke into the Bashi Strait last night and headed north, today (25th) China launched a "combined sea and air pressure" again, sending two scientific research vessels "Tongji" and "Zhang Jian" to pass through the Bashi Strait again. At the same time, it also sent a drone to break into our eastern airspace. The sea and air repeatedly carried out extremely provocative actions, triggering high alert from the local and national military.
