Climate change in the Far East.

Things are definitely warming up around Taiwan. There appears to be some confusion over the report but it does not bode well. https://www.airlive.net/breaking-report ... ce-system/

On which side of the straits did it crash, Taiwan or the mainland?

The report has been updated, the aircraft crashed on the mainland and Taiwan denies any involvement.

Tension abates.

I wonder if the Chinks had been doing the usual 'provocation' bit over-flying Taiwan 'just a bit' and the Taiwanese loosed off a missile but the aircraft crashed in China? There are several reports of 'provocation' by China of Taiwanese airspace in recent months.

It certainly isn't going to quieten down..............

Apparently neither the PRC nor Taiwan confirm the shoot down. Both deny it. The source was Indian. The aircraft crash was 1000 km from Taiwan.
