China has launched large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, mobilising its army, navy, air force and rocket units in a dramatic escalation of pressure on the self-ruled island.
Beijing says the drills, dubbed Justice Mission 2025, are aimed at testing combat readiness, including potential blockades of key ports and critical areas.
Taipei has condemned the exercises as military intimidation, saying it remains on full alert and will take concrete steps to defend democracy and freedom. The show of force comes after fresh U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, drawing warnings from China against what it calls “external interference.”
