 China conducts military drills simulating blockade of Taiwan 

China launched live-fire military drills around Taiwan on Monday, simulating a blockade of the island’s key ports as a warning to “separatist forces.” The exercises, called “Justice Mission 2025,” involve China’s army, navy, air force, and rocket force.

Taiwan, a self-governing nation claimed by China, has faced growing pressure after the U.S. announced an $11.1 billion arms sale to the island on Dec. 18, prompting sanctions from Beijing against U.S. companies and their executives. Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party continue to push for “peaceful reunification,” despite most Taiwanese opposing Chinese rule.

Taiwan’s defense ministry reported observing 28 Chinese ships, two of which entered its contiguous zone, along with at least 89 warplanes and four amphibious assault ships. Chinese officials framed the drills as a warning against Taiwan independence and foreign interference. Col. Shi Yi of the People’s Liberation Army’s eastern command described the exercises as a “stern warning,” while Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said external parties are pushing the region toward conflict.

A Chinese military analyst called the drills a justified response to U.S.-Taiwan cooperation, describing them as “reasonable, legal, and forced.” Taiwan’s transportation ministry warned that flights would be diverted away from areas affected by the drills.
