China begins military movements around Taiwan as the island braces for potential drills

CNN  

Taipei/Hong Kong CNN — Multiple formations of Chinese naval and coast guard vessels are moving in waters around the Taiwan Strait and the Western Pacific, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Monday, as the island braces for potential military drills by Beijing. Chinese authorities voiced firm opposition to Lai’s trip, referring to him as a “separatist.” Lai’s trip came after the US approved new arms sales to Taiwan, which prompted China to vow “strong countermeasures.” China’s ruling Communist Party claims the self-ruling democracy as its own territory, despite never having controlled it and views unofficial interactions between the US and Taiwan as a violation of its sovereignty. 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. ‘Never bow down to authoritarianism’ When asked about the vessels and airspace restrictions cited by Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday: “Taiwan is an integral part of China’s territory.
