PLA Dispatches 26 Aircraft; 16 Cross Median Line

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense detected 26 PLA aircraft operating around Taiwan on March 21, with 16 crossing the median line into Taiwan's ADIZ. Seven PLA warships accompanied the air operations. This represents a full resumption of PLA activity to pre-lull levels following a two-week pause during China's National People's Congress (Feb 27 - March 5), with gradual escalation from March 11 onward.
