According to a military representative, the military exercise serves as a serious warning to Taiwan’s troops. China’s actions have been expected in Taiwan since last week.
According to China’s Ministry of Defense, the country has started military exercises around Taiwan.
According to the Chinese military, the military exercises focus on, among other things, combat readiness at sea and in the air, as well as the blockade of significant ports and areas. In addition, the subjects of the exercise are strikes on land and sea targets.
According to a military representative, the military exercise serves as a serious warning to Taiwan’s troops. Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense condemned China’s military exercise and announced that it had sent its own troops to the area.
China’s actions have been expected in Taiwan since last week, when Taiwan’s president Lai Ching-te angered China after declaring in his Independence Day speech that China has no right to represent the island nation.
