China kept up its daily military pressure on Taiwan, sending warships and aircraft across the median line in a routine that has become near-constant — bad for regional calm, though nothing here marks an escalation.

• Six Chinese navy ships and six government vessels were tracked around Taiwan over a 24-hour window.
• Nine aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line into Taiwan's southwest and eastern air zones.
• Taiwan's military responded with its own planes, ships, and land-based missile systems on watch.
• These crossings are now reported daily, wearing down the unofficial buffer the median line once provided.

Outlook: Expect the same pattern to continue, with the risk sitting in an accident or miscalculation rather than a planned move.
