4:07Now PlayingRaising fresh questions about military activity, China has set aside large sections of offshore airspace for 40 days without giving any reason. The move is unusual, as similar alerts are normally linked to short military drills lasting only a few days, reports Wall Street Journal. Beijing has not announced any exercises in the area, adding to the uncertainty. The reserved zones are located hundreds of miles away from Taiwan, following a recent unexplained pause in Chinese military flights near the island. The alerts, active from March 27 to May 6, were issued as “Notice to Air Missions" (NOTAM), which are typically used to warn pilots about temporary airspace restrictions or hazards.
Experts, as quoted by WSJ, say such zones could allow China to practice air combat scenarios linked to a possible Taiwan conflict. Taiwan officials believe Beijing may be increasing activity while US attention is focused on the Middle East. The move comes amid major global developments, including delayed talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a planned visit by Taiwan’s Kuomintang leader, and recent US and Japanese military actions in the region.
