If you actually read the article,
you would find that 10 aircrafts either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait or entered the southwestern part of the ADIZ. Neither of those is "flying over mainland China."
It's still international airspace, so it's a moot point.
It is, but it was clearly done to provoke Taiwan. Calling this a moot point is like saying that laughing at homeless people is fine because it is not illegal.
why would China provoke itself, that makes no dang sense
Indeed. It only makes sense if Taiwan is a separate country from the PRC.
All these petty actions do is prove that Taiwan is a distinct country.
