China practices attacks and blockades in fresh military exercises around Taiwan
Briefly

China has initiated extensive military exercises around Taiwan, designed to simulate attacks and blockades, as a direct response to Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te, who referred to China as a hostile foreign force. These drills involve multiple military branches—including army, navy, air force, and rocket units—and signal China's intention to prepare for potential conflict over Taiwan, which it considers a territory that must be reunited with the mainland. The exercises respond to perceived provocations aimed at Taiwan's independence, a stance strongly opposed by Beijing.
The exercises that started on Tuesday mainly focus on sea-air combat readiness patrols, 'joint seizure of comprehensive superiority,' assault on maritime and ground targets.
'Taiwan independence' means war, and promoting 'Taiwan independence' means pushing the people of Taiwan toward the perils of war,
Our will to resolve the Taiwan issue and complete national reunification is as solid as a rock, our ability is unshakeable.
Taiwan is a democracy of about 23 million people that has been self-governed for decades.
