Beijing launches "punishment" drills around Taiwan
The Chinese Peopleâs Liberation Army (PLA) has kicked off a series of joint exercises around Taiwan designed to serve as a âpunishmentâ and âwarningâ to separatist forces seeking independence of the island, it announced in a press release on Thursday.
The drills will coordinate the PLAâs army, navy, air force and rocket force in the Taiwan Strait, taking place in several directions around Taiwan and its outlying islands on Thursday and Friday, military spokesperson Li Xi declared.
The exercises will focus on combined sea-air combat-readiness patrol, capture of battlefield control, and joint precision strikes on key targets, Li stated. The drills will practice closing in on areas around Taiwan, as well as operations inside and outside the island chain to test real combat capabilities, he said.
The Chinese military said the exercise is designed to serve as a âstrong punishment for the separatist acts of âTaiwan independenceâ forces,â as well as a âstern warning against the interference and provocation by external forces."
