The People’s Liberation Army’s ‘Justice Mission 2025’ involves army, navy, air force, and rocket units conducting live-fire training in five zones around Taiwan through December 30.
Beijing calls it a warning against Taiwan independence and external meddling, timed after a $11.1 billion U.S. arms sale on December 18.
Taiwan detected 89 Chinese aircraft and 29 vessels nearby, activated high alerts, and labeled the moves irrational provocations, while Russia voiced support for China.
