Taiwan Alarmed: China's Sudden Drop in Air Incursions Sparks Concern, Experts Puzzled
•China has sharply reduced its provocative aerial missions near Taiwan for 9 of the past 10 days, a significant departure from its usual pattern.
•The sudden drop in aircraft activity, with only two aircraft moved since February 28, has puzzled observers and alarmed Taiwanese officials.
•While air incursions have decreased, Chinese warship movements around the island remain consistent, averaging six daily.
•Experts suggest the unexplained reduction could be a ploy to weaken Taiwan's defense spending support or deceive the US, warning, "We must not let our guard down."
•Some analysts note that incursions often drop during China's annual 'two sessions' conference, suggesting it might not be unusual yet.
