China begins major military drills around Taiwan

China has launched joint military exercises around Taiwan today, in a stern warning against Taiwan independence separatist forces and foreign interference.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Wing Command sent fighter jets, bombers and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in coordination with long-range missile forces to conduct exercises codenamed "Mission Justice 2025" in the Taiwan Strait and areas north, southwest, southeast and east of Taiwan Island.

The military exercises are focused on striking mobile ground targets and are intended to test the PLA's ability to carry out precision strikes on key targets under joint operational conditions.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) exercises are being held after the Trump administration, earlier this month, announced eight new arms packages for Taiwan totaling over $11 billion.

Beijing also imposed sanctions on at least 20 US defense firms and 10 senior executives over arms sales to the island. Details on the duration of the exercises are not yet known. /CNA
