The United States has urged China to stop what it called "provocative" military activities near Taiwan, after China sent close to 100 military aircraft over a three-day period near the island.
The US said the military fly-bys were an incursion, which was destabilising, and undermined regional peace and stability.
China has yet to comment on the activities, although Friday was National Day, to mark the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In previous statements, Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that it’s a basic fact that Taiwan is part of China, and that has never changed.
In comments in July, he urged the US to act prudently and honour its commitment on issues related to Taiwan, adding that China had the right to take necessary measures to stop provocation from "Taiwan independence" forces.
