The Chinese military announced that it would conduct military training around Taiwan starting on the 29th. It has been since April 2025 that the Chinese military has announced large-scale military exercises around Taiwan.
The Chinese military’s Eastern Theater, which oversees the East China Sea, announced on social media that it would conduct military exercises around Taiwan.
In the announcement, it is said that troops such as the army, navy, air force, and rocket force will be mobilized, and the training area is set to surround Taiwan.
In addition, this training is named ‘Justice Mission 2025’ and its purpose is ‘a serious warning to Taiwan independence forces and external interference forces’.
The Eastern Theater will conduct ‘important military training’ in the waters and airspace surrounding Taiwan from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time on the 30th, and will also conduct live shooting.
China is increasing military pressure on the Democratic Progressive Party’s Lai Ching-de administration, which it regards as an ‘independence faction’, and is continuing to oppose Prime Minister Takaichi’s response to the National Assembly regarding the so-called ‘Taiwan quasi-quasi’.
