Chinese air incursions near Taiwan dropped sharply, with no flights in six days—the longest pause since 2022—amid speculation about diplomatic efforts ahead of a potential Xi-Trump meeting.
Chinese air incursions near Taiwan have dropped sharply, with no detected flights in the past six days—the longest lull since 2022—marking a 46.5% decline from the same period last year, according to Taiwan government data and Secure Taiwan Associate Corporation.
The pause, while notable, is not seen as a shift in Beijing’s long-term strategy, as China’s navy and coast guard remain active in the region.
Analysts speculate the reduction may be linked to efforts to ease tensions ahead of a potential March meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump, possibly to influence U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
Meanwhile, two major U.S. arms packages worth up to $14 billion have been delayed, with no official explanation, raising concerns about shifting U.S. policy and Beijing’s growing influence on defense decisions.
