Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu gestures yesterday as he speaks to members of the legislature’s Foreign and National Defense Committee at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei. The Chinese aircraft involved were one Y-8 marine patrol plane, one Y-8 tactical reconnaissance aircraft, two Su-30 jets, two J-16 fighters and two J-10 jets, the defense ministry said. The air force scrambled planes to monitor the Chinese aircraft, issuing radio warnings and mobilizing air defense assets before the Chinese planes left the air defense identification zone, it said.
