Around Taiwan, military exercises involving a large number of Chinese military aircraft were held late last month, and the US Department of Defense has increased its vigilance.

The US military has regularly sailed naval vessels in the Taiwan Strait, but it seems that the aim is to keep China in check as the conflict continues over Taiwan and other countries.
