New York Post:
A US military reconnaissance jet was reportedly spotted flying near Taiwan’s airspace — the 12th time in the past three weeks that American military planes had been detected near the area.
Citing flight data posted on Twitter by a military air movement tracker, the Taipei Times reported that a RC-135W Rivet Joint flew over the South China Sea on Tuesday.
The move comes just one day after Japan and Taipei were forced to keep an eye on a Chinese aircraft carrier and its strike group as it sailed past Taiwan, China’s staunchest rival.
