China has made significant military maneuvers around Taiwan, which, according to Reuters, aimed at blockage of key ports and territories. These exercises have caused serious concern among the international community and emphasize the growing tension in relations between China and Taiwan.
Beijing stated that it was a warning to the "separatist actions" of Taiwan Independence and the necessary measure to protect the sovereignty of the PRC.
The training covers the Taiwanese Strait, districts to the north, south and east of the island. They participate in the aircraft carrier "Lyanin".
Chinese ships and planes are approaching the island "in close proximity from different directions", paying special attention to the patrolling of marine and air -martial readiness, attacks of marine and land purposes, and "joint capture of a comprehensive advantage", said the Command of the PRC.
Taiwan calls these actions a "flashy provocation" that undermines the regional peace and has collected an urgent government meeting.
