China has intensified its military presence around Taiwan, conducting extensive drills under the name 'Joint Sword-2024B'. These exercises, involving the army, navy, air force, and rocket force, came in response to Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's recent speech, which Beijing perceived as promoting independence. China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and seeks reunification, opposing any moves towards sovereignty.

Beijing's actions have been condemned by Taipei as irrational and provocative, prompting Taiwan to deploy its own military forces in a show of defiance. The presence of Chinese aircraft carriers, including the Liaoning, has placed Taiwan on high alert. These drills mark a continuation of China's increased military pressure, following similar exercises in the past.

The international community, including the United States, has voiced concerns about China's aggressive tactics. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has specifically warned against such provocations. The ongoing military maneuvers highlight the escalating tension in the region, raising fears of a potential conflict. Despite this, Taiwan remains resolute, refusing to yield to China's coercive measures and maintaining its stance against reunification on Beijing's terms.
