A Taiwanese pilot mocked a Chinese pilot over radio about subservience to the Communist Party and Xi Jinping during an exchange that went viral on X between 12:16 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. UTC on December 31, 2025, according to a post by @denisewu. The interaction featured the Taiwanese pilot stating, "Can you stand up while talking? You’ve spent your entire life kneeling, a slave to the Communist Party," prompting responses including profanities from the Chinese pilot such as "Fuck you," as translated in the @denisewu post. Additional exchanges included the Taiwanese pilot saying, "Did Xi Jinping write this for you?" and "You’re the world champions at spewing foul language." Taiwan's Republic of China Armed Forces emphasized preserving normalcy in freedom and democracy, stating on X, "Living in the Republic of China means enjoying the everyday life in freedom, democracy, and peace. Safeguarding daily 'lives' is the mission of the #ROCArmedForces," according to a post by @MoNDefense during the reporting window. Observers noted a Chinese H-6K bomber carrying the AKD-20A missile with a new high-definition imaging radar variant, painted dark grey, as detailed by @RupprechtDeino on X in the same period amid China's ongoing People's Liberation Army 'Justice Mission 2025' drills around Taiwan.
