Americaの新大統領Biden氏の新政権を試す様に、ChinaがTaiwanへの挑発行動に出ているとの記事からです。

ここに出てくるADIZ(Air Defense Identification Zone: 防空識別形)とか読者諸氏には馴染みのない単語も出て来ますが、時事用語としては普通の単語です。 お勉強しましょう！

CNN - China dispatched two large formations of warplanes close to the self-governing island of Taiwan over the weekend, presenting a significant foreign policy challenge to new United States President Joe Biden just days into his administration.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry said 13 Chinese planes entered the southwestern portion of the island's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Saturday followed by 15 on Sunday, prompting Taipei to take defensive measures, including scrambling fighter jets to monitor the Chinese flights.
According to Taiwan's Defense Ministry, Chinese military planes made more than 380 flights into the island's air defense identification zone last year. The US Federal Aviation Administration defines an ADIZ as "a designated area of airspace over land or water within which a country requires the immediate and positive identification, location, and air traffic control of aircraft in the interest of the country's national security."
