LA Times  

An image taken from video shows Chinese fighter jets performing a midair refueling maneuver in an unspecified location. The Chinese military announced the start of three-day “combat readiness patrols” as a warning to those who want to make Taiwan’s de facto independence permanent. On Saturday, eight warships and 71 planes were detected near Taiwan; 45 of the planes flew across the middle line of the strait that separates the island from the mainland, Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense said. Additionally, the Chinese navy planned to hold “live fire training” in Luoyuan Bay in Fujian province opposite Taiwan, the local Maritime Authority announced Saturday. “We will never leave room for ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities in any form and will definitely take resolute measures to defeat any foreign interference,” said Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Cabinet’s Taiwan Affairs Office, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
