China Launches Large-Scale Military Exercises Around Taiwan in Show of Force
ai generated text
China's military has launched a new round of war games near Taiwan, with exercises taking place in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding areas. The drills, which began on Monday, are a "stern warning" against "separatist acts" by forces promoting Taiwan independence, according to Beijing. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has not ruled out using force to bring it under its control. The exercises involve fighter jets and warships and are a part of China's efforts to encircle Taiwan. Taiwan's President William Lai has convened national security meetings to discuss the island's response to the drills, which have been described as "unwarranted" by the United States.
We are determined and confident to ensure national defense security.
Taiwan independence and peace in the Taiwan Strait are irreconcilable.
The drill also serves as a stern warning to the separatist acts of 'Taiwan Independence' forces.
This is a resolute punishment for Lai Ching-te's continuous fabrication of 'Taiwan independence' nonsense.
We call on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid any actions that may further escalate cross-strait tensions, which should be resolved through dialogue.
Threatening other countries with force violates the basic spirit of the United Nations Charter to resolve disputes through peaceful means.
The PRC response with military provocations to a routine annual speech is unwarranted and risks escalation.
There is no need to panic or overreact. We all saw this coming. It will pass quickly.
While military threats are no small matter, we all knew the PRC [People's Republic of China] would respond to Lai's Double Ten Day speech with military threats of some sort.
