You stated they "flew into Taiwan's airspace" which didn't actually happen.

It was wording from a news outlet, but I clarified they crossed the Taıwan Strait median line.
The point of my post still stands, wouldn't you agree?

Is it really so difficult to admit that you published an errata?
I believe I just did 2 comments above, before you joined in, why the hostility?
Is it really so difficult to focus on the actual aggression against a sovereign country and instead squabble over exactly where they were practicing to invade the country.
The point is they are practicing to invade the country, is it not?

How is it an aggression if they didn't actually violate anything? Flying close to the edge of a border isn't aggression, it's almost common practice. Going by your standard, the US has violated pretty much every single country on earth. And no, that's not whataboutism. Precedent is extremely important in international relations and laws.
Oh, so you're disputing the reason of what the military drill is for?

It's no secret what they want to do with Taıwan and what these exercises are for.
