China Conducts Large-scale Military Drills Around Taiwan Amid Regional Tensions

News summary

China has conducted large-scale military drills around Taiwan, involving its army, navy, air force, and rocket forces, which it described as a 'stern warning' against Taiwanese independence. These exercises, characterized by blockades and target strikes, follow heightened tensions and criticisms of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te from Beijing, as well as recent remarks from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth condemning China's aggression. Taiwan's government condemned the drills as reckless provocations that threaten regional peace and reaffirmed its commitment to self-determination. Taiwanese officials reported the presence of 19 Chinese warships during the exercises and responded by deploying their own military assets. The situation highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions, as Taiwan maintains a stance against China's territorial claims amid concerns over U.S. foreign policy shifts. Despite these military maneuvers, Taiwan's stock market showed resilience, indicating some confidence in its economic stability amidst external pressures.
