China has launched a new 6-day military exercise in five maritime areas in waters near Taiwan, right on the first day after Taiwan’s National Day long weekend. The affected areas include parts of the Yellow sea, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense says it is closely monitoring any developments, while condemning China for escalating tensions in the region. Let’s hear more.

Maritime authorities across multiple regions have issued navigation warnings, announcing that live-fire drills, military training, and other designated operations will be conducted in several maritime areas beginning today.

Minister of National Defense
Based on our preliminary assessment, these activities are all taking place along the coast. We will continue to monitor the situation closely. Whether live-fire exercises or military training, these drills create unnecessary anxiety and should be condemned.
China has openly stated that the military drills were intended to “deter Taiwan independence.” Taiwan’s Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, condemned Beijing for heightening regional tensions. That includes numerous incursions by military aircraft over the National Day long weekend. Taiwan detected 21 aircraft incursions on Oct. 9, 21 on Oct. 10 and 4 on Oct. 11. In addition, on Oct. 11, six Chinese military vessels and three official ships were also spotted operating around the Taiwan Strait.
