China has launched large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, dubbed Just Mission 2025. The exercises are taking place in five areas off the island’s coast and in the surrounding airspace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by Deutsche Welle<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The start of the exercises on December 29 was announced by Shi Yi, a representative of the Eastern Zone of the People’s Liberation Army’s Combat Command. According to him, the maneuvers include the organization of live fire.<\/p>\n

The exercises focus on preparing patrols for combat readiness at sea and in the air, establishing integrated control, blocking key ports and areas, and conducting multidimensional deterrence.<\/p>\n

“This is a serious warning to separatist forces acting in favor of Taiwan independence and external forces interfering in its affairs, and is also a legitimate and necessary measure to safeguard China’s sovereignty and national unity,” said Shi Yi, a spokesman for the Eastern Zone Combat Command of the People’s Liberation Army of China.<\/p>\n

Journalists noted that these are China’s first major military exercises near Taiwan since April. The maneuvers come amid a tense situation around the island.<\/p>\n

As is known, the People’s Republic of China considers Taiwan to be part of its territory. The Taiwanese authorities do not recognize this position.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that if the situation around Taiwan escalates, Russia will support China<\/a> . According to him, the corresponding actions are provided for by bilateral agreements between Moscow and Beijing.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that journalists analyzed a leak of secret documents and found that Russia agreed to supply China with armored vehicles and train Chinese airborne units in airborne operations<\/a> , which in theory could be used to attempt to capture key facilities in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Recall that US President Donald Trump refused to approve a $400 million arms package for Taiwan<\/a> as he tries to negotiate a trade deal and a potential summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n

By the way, at the beginning of the year , China began construction of at least five new barges specifically designed for landing troops<\/a> . This could become part of Beijing’s military strategy in the event of an attempted landing on Taiwan.<\/p>\n
