US, Canada colluded to provoke trouble, says China after warships sail through Taiwan Strait

The Chinese Taiwan Affairs Office justified Beijing's military drills near Taiwan, stating they are a "just" measure to safeguard peace and stability, and accusing Taipei of "collusion" with foreign troops.

On Wednesday, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, blamed Taipei for escalating tensions, accusing it of fabricating "bogus charges" against Beijing and coluding with foreign countries.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, said the present tensions are the result of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) "collusion" with foreign forces and "provocations" over Taiwan's independence.

Chinese drills are directed against this collaboration – a veiled allusion to US backing for Taiwan – and separatist actions, as well as safeguarding the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, he said.&nbsp;

Military exercises near Taiwan 'just move', claims China

Amid tensions with Taiwan, China's military said it carried out beach landing and assault drills near the island nation.

The PLA claimed it had carried out the drills in the southern Fujian province as sappers, troops and boats took part in the military exercise.

The tasks included "multiple waves" to take the beach including combat drills with a small number of troops taking part.

Fujian is located strategically near Taiwan and is considered a&nbsp;key base for the Chinese army overlooking Taiwan.

The Chinese army reportedly used small boats while exercising with smoke grenades as they dug trenches and broke through barbed wires during the military exercise.
