Taiwan security bureau says Chinese warplane activity halved this year but coast guard 'grey-zone' patrols have expanded
In a report to lawmakers, Taiwan's National Security Bureau counted more than 1,450 Chinese military aircraft sorties around Taiwan from January to September, down from more than 3,000 a year earlier, and said Chinese coast guard patrols had spread to waters east of the island. Taiwan's defence ministry reported 29 Chinese aircraft around Taiwan in the 24 hours to Wednesday morning.
