China's increasing aggression, military exercises again against Taiwan, artillery shells fired


China War Games

China has once again conducted military exercises off the coast of southern Fujian province adjacent to Taiwan. China has used ammunition in this military exercise. China has described it as a punitive exercise by Taiwan's President for rejecting its (China's) claim of sovereignty. China had conducted large-scale air and sea exercises against Taiwan just a week ago.

According to the notice issued by the Maritime Security Administration, the military exercise from China was conducted from 9 am to 1 pm near Pingtan Island in Fujian province. The notice warns ships not to enter this area. However, he did not provide additional details.

China has its eyes on Taiwan

Taiwan's Defense Ministry said China's military exercise was part of an annual exercise and it was monitoring it. The ministry said it cannot be denied that China's actions are escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait and are a way to expand its threatening actions in the context of free movement in the region.

tension increased

Taiwan is a self-governing island and China claims it as its territory. Tension on this issue has increased in recent years. China has increased its presence in the maritime and airspace around Taiwan. It is now sending large numbers of warplanes and naval ships for military exercises near Taiwan and its coast guard conducts frequent patrols. Last week, China held a one-day military exercise to “besiege major ports and key areas”. During this period, Taiwan recorded a record 153 aircraft, 14 naval ships, and 12 Chinese government ships in one day.
