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.
