flag 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.

flag 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. flag 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. flag 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. flag 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.
