China has launched a second day of military drills surrounding Taiwan, with the Chinese Defense Ministry stating that the exercises are aimed at testing the country's ability to "seize power" and occupy key areas.

1 / 2
  1. CN
    PLA's Eastern Theater Command
    1. As we can see we have set two exercise areas in the sea and air space near the eastern part of the island, mainly to block the escape of 'Taiwan independence' separatists and break through their comfort zone.
  2. CN
    Wang Wenbin
    Chinese Communist Party
    1. Taiwan independence forces will be left with their heads broken and blood flowing after colliding against the great...undertaking of China achieving complete unification.
  3. CN
    Wu Qian
    Chinese Communist Party
    1. Every time 'Taiwan independence' provokes us, we will push our countermeasures one step further, until the complete reunification of the motherland is achieved.
  4. CN
    Wang Yi
    Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    1. All Taiwan independence separatists will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
    2. The ugly acts of Lai Ching-te and others who betray the nation and their ancestors is disgraceful.
  5. CN
    Li Xi
    People's Liberation Army
    1. The weapon aimed at 'Taiwan independence' to kill 'independence' is already in place.
  6. TW
    William Lai Ching-Te
    Democratic Progressive Party
    1. Beijing has a robust coercion kitbag from which it will mix and match, ratchet up and back and up again to signal its range of options to coerce and inflict pain.
    2. Facing external challenges and threats, we will continue to maintain the values of freedom and democracy.
    3. My responsibility is to safeguard the nation and ensure the safety of all citizens.
  7. TW
    Wen-Ti Sung
    Atlantic Council
    1. This is a signal to shape international narratives. The real 'punishment' against Taiwan may be yet to come, for it takes time.
    2. This round of military drills is code-named 'Joint Sword-2024A'.
    3. This military exercise is largely in line with expectations. This feels like a prelude to more and bigger military drills to come. Beijing is making a signal to shape international narratives after new president Lai's speech. But this is only a 'signal.' The real 'punishment' against Taiwan may be yet to come.

    Amanda Hsiao
    Eurasia Group
    1. Lai Ching-te wants to express clearly and openly that China and Taiwan are separate states. Lai's calculation may be that his predecessor's more moderate approach didn't pay off. China still responded with heavy-handed methods.

Taiwan Presidential Election

  1. Taiwan swears in new president, defies Chinese aggression
  2. After Taiwan's presidential election, China warns any move toward independence will be "severely punished"
  3. Informal US delegation to visit Taiwan after elections
