ORIGINAL 4.42 pm (August 2) – Videos circulating on social media reportedly show the moment warning sirens began ringing out in Southern China ahead of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
As sirens ring out around China, PLAAF Su-35 fighter jets were apparently deployed along the Taiwan Straits. Nancy Pelosi is due to arrive in Taiwan within the next hour as China’s military gathered in Xiamen, Fujian.
Chinese state media announced that PLAAF Su-35 fighter jets had been scrambled and were crossing the Taiwan Straits.
Chinese state media also reported that FlightRadar24 showed the US air force jet (SPAR19) reportedly carrying US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi now in China’s Taiwan airspace.
Earlier, FlightRadar24 crashed as thousands tracked US Speaker Pelosi’s plane to Taiwan.
Other unconfirmed reports suggest that the PRC coastline in Fujian lit up with anti-aircraft fire as the PLA carries out drills in the proximity of Taiwan.
