CHINA has expressed “grave concerns” over the landing of a US military transport plane in Taiwan on Thursday, and warned that continued violations of its sovereignty will have serious consequences.

The US air force plane is the second to have landed on the Chinese island in less than two months.

The latest incident comes just days after the People’s Liberation Army forced a US battleship to leave contested waters in the South China Sea.
