China's armed forces carried out another round of exercises near Taiwan last week to improve joint combat operations, the People's Liberation Army said on Monday, after the Chinese-claimed island reported a spike in activity.

Taiwan has complained for the past two years about frequent Chinese military activity near it, mostly concentrated in the southern and southwestern part of the island's air defence identification zone, or ADIZ.

Taiwan has raised its alert since Russia invaded Ukraine, wary of China making a similar move, though the government in Taipei has not reported any signs this is about to happen. Taiwan also carried out pre-announced missile and other drills off its southern and southeastern coasts last week.

I would like to say that I conducted exercises nowhere near Taiwan (Feet under the sofa sit-ups 30, tbh 25 proper ones). My comment, both childish and facetious, will not end up killing children. Grow up China, or I will stop buying Made in 🇨🇳 - luckily you don’t do my food.

And? What else is new?

China wants to invade and destroy Taiwan. It hates when nearby citizens are prosperous and free. It gives Chinese citizens hope and China can’t have that. This is no mystery.
