China holds military drills around Taiwan as warning to ‘separatist forces’ | BBC News

China is holding military drills around Taiwan simulating the seizure and blockade of the island’s key areas, as a warning against “separatist forces”.

The army, navy, air force and rocket force have been dispatched for the drills which include live-fire exercises, the Chinese military said.

Codenamed “Justice Mission 2025”, the drills are taking place days after the US announced the sale of one of its largest weapons packages to Taiwan worth $11bn (£8.2bn).

That move drew sharp protest from Beijing which in turn sanctioned US defence firms.

  1. Now, Zelensky’s second attempt on Putin it appears Ukraine wants to escalate the war so that EU nations are also involved but it appears Europe is already divided.

  2. Imagine a huge country like China that spends billions on military weapons to intimidate a little country the size of the state of Maryland.

  3. Meanwhile, the leader of Canada is trying to strengthen ties with China and says nothing about this intimidation…talk about the wrong stuff.

  4. China would easily take Taiwan. If Japan gets involved, China would swallow Japan forever.

    USA will avoid a risky war.

  5. Once engage the war you make American’s happy because your tech is now on top. America isn’t happy with that, engaging the war & opportunity west & America to destroy infrastructure and tech systems 4 them to be on top & America never love’s you both
