00:00Taiwan's Defense Ministry says it spotted 25 Chinese military aircraft and five naval
00:05vessels operating near the country between Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
00:09This comes after several days of relative calm in the airspace and waters around Taiwan.
00:14Of the 25 aircraft, 23 cross the Taiwan Strait median line, entering the north and southwest
00:20parts of Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ.
00:24This zone is not a part of Taiwan's official airspace, but instead acts as a buffer zone
00:28for defensive purposes.
00:30The incursions come as the APEC summit kicks off in South Korea, where U.S. President
00:34Donald Trump is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
