The exercises are conducted in the Taiwan Strait, north, south and east of Taiwan, as well as in areas around the Taiwanese-controlled islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin.
China on Thursday, May 23, began two days of “punitive” military exercises around Taiwan. It was reported by Reuters.
Military drills involving the army, navy, air force and missile forces in areas around Taiwan began at 7:45 a.m. (local time). They are conducted in the Taiwan Strait, north, south and east of Taiwan, and in the areas around the Taiwanese-controlled islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wutsu and Dongyin.
As Chinese officials said, “It is also a severe punishment for the separatist actions of the Taiwan independence forces and a strong clause against interference and provocations by external forces.”
Let’s recall that the new President of Taiwan, Lai Chinte, in his inaugural speech called on China to recognize the government of Taiwan and start a dialogue with Taipei.
China has accused Taiwan’s new President Lai Chinte of sending “dangerous signals” in his inauguration speech.
