Chinese military launches large-scale military drills around Taiwan
Briefly

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence reported tracking 19 Chinese navy vessels in just 24 hours, coinciding with China's announcement of large-scale military drills around Taiwan. These drills, described by the People's Liberation Army as a significant warning against Taiwanese independence, have raised tensions in the region. Taiwan's President recently labeled Beijing a "foreign hostile force," while Defence Minister Wellington Koo condemned China's actions as destructive to regional peace. The situation is further complicated by China's aggressive propaganda efforts and increased military presence around the self-governing island.
Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo stated that the recent Chinese military actions "amply reflect its destruction of regional peace and stability," emphasizing the need for vigilance.
The People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theatre Command warned that their exercises serve as a "severe warning and forceful containment against Taiwan independence," highlighting tensions between the regions.
