China Military exercises again around Taiwan Will military pressure continue to normalize in the future?

The Chinese military announced on the 15th that it held military exercises again around Taiwan as a countermeasure against the visit of the US congressional delegation to Taiwan.

China has strengthened its opposition to the visit of another delegation just 10 days after Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and it is expected that military pressure on Taiwan will become normal in the future.

The Chinese military's Eastern Theater Command, which has jurisdiction over the East China Sea, announced on the 15th that it had conducted practical military exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan.

According to Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, by the evening of the 15th, a total of 30 Chinese military aircraft and five naval vessels were active in the Taiwan Strait area, and a total of 14 fighter planes crossed the "median line" of the Strait. It is said that it temporarily entered the airspace on the Taiwan side.

In Taiwan, five bipartisan members of the Senate and Senate, including Senator Markey of the United States, visited Taiwan and met with President Tsai Ing-wen on the 15th, and the Chinese military said that the exercise was a countermeasure to the visit. .

The Chinese military has strongly opposed the US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month for the first time in 25 years as an incumbent Speaker of the House, and conducted large-scale exercises around Taiwan, including the launch of ballistic missiles.

In just over 10 days since Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, a foreign ministry spokesperson said at a press conference, "China stubbornly visited Taiwan despite its solemn requests and firm opposition." It is expected that the military pressure on Taiwan will continue to be normalized in the future, as it has strengthened its opposition to the visit of another US legislative group.
