China’s maritime movements around Taiwan are largest in decades, Taipei says

CNN  

Taipei/Hong Kong CNN — China has fielded its largest regional maritime deployment in decades, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday, as it monitors what it says is a surge of Chinese military activities in the Taiwan Strait and Western Pacific. Chinese authorities voiced firm opposition to Lai’s trip, referring to him as a “separatist.” His travel came after the US approved new arms sales to Taiwan, which prompted China to vow “strong countermeasures.” Military drills have increasingly become one of Beijing’s go-to tools to voice dissatisfaction and visits by US or Taiwanese officials to each other’s soil have in the past sparked significant war games from China. In May, days after Lai’s inauguration, China launched two days of large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan in what it called “punishment” for so-called “separatist acts.” It called those drills “Joint Sword-2024A.” China then conducted “Joint-Sword-2024B” drills in October, after Lai said during a National Day address that the island was “not subordinate” to China. When asked about the military movements during a regular briefing Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning declined to comment directly but said, “the Taiwan issue is China’s internal affair, and China will firmly defend its national sovereignty.” This story has been updated with additional information.
