China Conducts Military Drills Around Taiwan

China is conducting military drills around Taiwan, simulating the seizure and blockade of key areas, as a warning to 'separatist forces'. The drills, codenamed 'Justice Mission 2025', involve the army, navy, air force, and rocket force, and include live-fire exercises. The drills come days after the US announced an $11 billion weapons sale to Taiwan, which drew sharp protests from Beijing. Taiwan's defence ministry has detected Chinese aircraft and ships around the island and has deployed its own forces and missile systems to monitor the situation. The tensions between China and Taiwan have been escalating, with China accusing Taiwan's president of pursuing 'Taiwan independence'.

China launched live-fire military drills around Taiwan, simulating a blockade of the island's key ports, prompting Taipei to condemn Beijing's 'military intimidation.' Taiwan's military responded with a 'rapid response exercise.' The drills are part of China's 'Justice Mission 2025' and involve destroyers, frigates, fighters, bombers, and drones. The exercises are seen as a show of force by Beijing following the US announcement of a record package of arms sales to Taiwan and Japan's prime minister suggesting its military could get involved if China were to move against Taiwan.

China has announced large-scale military drills around Taiwan, dubbed 'Justice Mission-2025', in response to a major US arms deal with the island and Taiwan's push for a special defense budget. The drills, which include live-fire activities in five maritime and airspace zones encircling Taiwan, are seen as a 'serious warning' against Taiwanese independence and external interference. Taiwan's government has condemned the drills as 'military intimidation', while the US has maintained its unofficial ties with Taiwan and supplied it with defensive weaponry. The tensions between China and Taiwan are further complicated by a diplomatic spat between China and Japan over comments made by the Japanese Prime Minister regarding Taiwan.

China's military conducted joint drills around Taiwan, citing a 'stern warning' against separatist and external interference forces. The drills came after Beijing expressed anger at U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and a statement by Japan's prime minister suggesting its military could intervene if China took action against Taiwan. Taiwan's Defense Ministry responded by placing its forces on high alert and conducting combat readiness drills, condemning China's actions as a threat to peace.

China has announced live-fire military exercises around Taiwan, mobilizing naval, air, ground, and missile forces in a 'stern warning' to opponents of Beijing's claims to the island. The exercises, called 'Justice Mission 2025,' are seen as a display of China's growing capabilities to encircle Taiwan and a response to the US's proposed $11 billion arms sale to Taiwan. The drills include simulating blockading ports and establishing Chinese dominance to the east of Taiwan, where potential wartime support from the US and its allies would likely come from. Experts believe the timing of the exercises may be intended to convey China's anger over the arms sale, as well as to warn Japan against supporting Taiwan in a possible conflict. The exercises also come amid turmoil in the People's Liberation Army leadership, with dozens of commanders and generals removed in recent years due to corruption and other misconduct.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has initiated military drills around Taiwan, citing the need to safeguard national unity following the US's approval of a significant arms sale to Taiwan. The drills, dubbed 'Justice Mission 2025', involve multiple branches of the PLA and include live-fire exercises. The PLA views these drills as a warning to 'independence forces' and against external interference, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining China's sovereignty.

China has launched live-fire military drills around Taiwan, simulating a blockade of major ports and attacking maritime targets, in what it calls a warning to 'separatist' forces in Taiwan. The drills, named Justice Mission 2025, involve naval, air force, and rocket forces, as well as coast guard vessels conducting 'law enforcement inspections' at sea. Taiwan's defence ministry has strongly condemned the exercise, saying it escalates tensions and undermines regional peace. The drills come amid heightened tensions between China, Taiwan, Japan, and the US, with China claiming Taiwan is a Chinese province and preparing to annex it.
