China News Service, Beijing, August 10 (Reporter Xing Chong Guo Chaokai) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on August 10.

Some foreign media reporters asked again whether China will continue to conduct military exercises near Taiwan Island.

  Wang Wenbin: We have made it clear that China's military exercises in the surrounding waters of its own territory are legitimate, reasonable and legal. It is not only a warning to the provocateurs, but also a punishment for the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

As for the specific news you are concerned about, please check with the Chinese military.
