China deployed over 1,700 military planes around Taiwan in 2023

This aerial activity, which now occurs on a near-daily basis, is reported by the Taiwan Defense Ministry. The Taiwan ADIZ Violations Database, compiled by independent defense analyst Benjamin Lewis, illustrates a marked escalation in Chinese military operations near Taiwan in recent years.

It’s a shitty Newsweek headline, is it 1700 planes or 1700 flights? The PLAAF does not even have 1700 planes I think.

In either case, this is worrying. One more reason Ukraine must be successful in its defence, to show that military expansionism is not a viable ideology today.
