TAOYUAN, Taiwan – Taiwan Vice President William Lai returned on Friday, August 18, from a sensitive visit to the United States, a trip China has condemned and which has brought warnings from Taiwanese officials it could prompt more Chinese military drills near the island.
Democratically governed Taiwan has so far not reported any unusual Chinese military movements near the island. The US Navy’s Carrier Strike Group 5, whose flagship is the USS Ronald Reagan, told Reuters the strike group “continues to perform routine operations in the Philippine Sea”, but did not elaborate.
Russia’s defense ministry said Russian and Chinese ships “conducted anti-submarine drills, repelled an air raid by a mock enemy, trained for rescue operations at sea, and mastered skills for take offs and landings on decks of war ships”.
