China has conducted military drills around Taiwan following the inauguration of Lai Ching-te as the island's leader. The exercise, named Joint Combat-2024A, aims to evaluate combat readiness and demonstrate control over the region.
Viewed as a punishment for Taiwan's new president, the maneuvers involve navy and air force coordination. China's deployment of fighter jets, destroyers, and amphibious ships emphasizes its stance on Taiwan as an integral part of its territory and warns against separatist efforts and external interference.
The drills, while not involving live fire near Taiwan on the first day, send a strong message aimed at Taiwan and the international community, with analysts suggesting a preference for blockade strategies over direct armed conflict.
