Taiwan has strongly condemned the recent Chinese military drills around the island, labeling them as an 'unreasonable provocation.' The drills, involving joint operations of the army, navy, air force, and rocket force, were conducted in the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan, with China deploying warships and fighter jets.
These exercises, code-named Joint Sword-2024B, are seen as a stern warning to what Beijing perceives as 'separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces.' Taiwan's Defense Ministry has dispatched its own forces in response to the drills.
