Recently the Taiwanese and Americans have been selling the news that China is encroaching into Taiwanese airspace. Is this a statement of truth or alternative news, disinformation?
Is Taiwan a part of China, a breakaway part of China? Does the US recognised that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of China? If there is one China, how can Taiwan be a separate state? Does the UN recognise there is one China and Taiwan is a part of China? Why is Taiwan not recognised as a separate entity and allowed to join the UN and other world bodies and organisations as an independent state?
Officially there is one China and Taiwan is part of China, separated by a civil war that has yet to be settled. Together they are one country. The airspace over Taiwan is therefore China's airspace and China has every right to fly over it and take control of it. Similarly the surrounding seas of Taiwan also belong to China. The dispute/civil war is who to form the govt of China, to represent the Chinese people on both side of the straits. The renegade govt could control the ground in Taiwan and also the airspace and sea. But China, being the legitimate owner of Taiwan, has the right to control land, air and sea of Taiwan as long as it is able to do so.
China is now able to control the airspace over Taiwan and the surrounding seas and should fly and sail its aircraft and ships in these spaces. If the Taiwanese dare to engage and fire at them, China is fully capable to taking counter actions to take them down.
Taiwan, like Diaoyu Islands belong to China and so are their airspace and surrounding seas. It is time for China to take back control of the airspace and surrounding seas of both islands. China should also take back the Diaoyu Islands by physical occupation of the islands.
The Taiwanese cannot forbid Chinese aircraft and ships to fly and sail the the airspace and surrounding seas. There is no intrusion from the Chinese. Taiwan is a renegade part of China and China has every right to take back control of land, air and sea. Flying over Taiwan and sailing in the surround seas are the natural rights of China, flying in its own territorial airspace and territorial seas.
There is no intrusion in any sense of the word. China is the real and ultimate owner of the airspace and seas over Taiwan. China has all the rights to guard and protect its own airspace and seas. At best the Taiwanese govt is like the warlords of the past, controlling a piece of China's land.
PS. China should patrol the airspace and sea over and around Taiwan like they are doing in the Diaoyu Island. Just tell the Taiwanese that China is patrolling its own airspace and territorial sea to protect its territorial integrity. If the Taiwanese dare to open fire on Chinese aircraft or ship, then China shall retaliate. Period. The Taiwanese are welcome to fly and sail side by side with the Chinese aircraft and warship.
