On the day that China sent a consolation message in the name of President Xi Jinping in the worst train accident in Taiwan, a Chinese military aircraft again invaded Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is controversial.

Earlier, on the morning of the 2nd, a large train accident in Hualien, northeastern Taiwan, caused hundreds of casualties. On this day, there were many people going home ahead of the Qingming Day holiday, a holiday in Taiwan, and the damage increased. Qingming Festival is a holiday that is also valued in China.
