Taiwan's defence ministry has condemned China's military exercises around the self-ruled island as "irrational provocations".
The drills come just three days after the inauguration of Taiwanese president William Lai, whom Beijing has labelled as a "separatist" and a "troublemaker".
Beijing, which has long claimed Taiwan, is performing the drills all around the main island, and the Taipei-controlled islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin.
A spokesperson for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has called them a "strong punishment" for "separatist acts".

Jackass, if people in Mainland China were oppressed why did nearly 2 million Taiwanese opt to move, to live and work in Mainland China instead of Taiwan or anywhere else. Why did every year before Covid 140 million Chinese went a broad to travel the world as tourists and nearly 140 million of them returned to China to live and work? Where do you think senior Taiwanese military servicemen, politicians, businessmen move to when they retire? Where do you think Taiwanese banks and institutions move their money and assets to whenever there is instability in Taiwan, you clown? Go to China and see if Chinese people there are oppressed. You British have an unelected hereditary king whom you, all your military members, politicians, judges and civil servants have to pledge personal allegiance to him and his family and you are calling people from other countries oppressed. Taiwan can't even exist economically without Mainland China. Nearly 50% of everything Taiwan produces goes to China. Taiwan is not economically viable without the Mainland. 80% have family members in the Mainland. Most Taiwanese can tell you exactly where their ancestors came from. Most of them came from Fujian Province, just across the Straight. Do you know who are oppressed? The people of Okinawa who have been protesting for decades for American troops to leave their Islands. They have seen 40% of all their arable land swallowed up by the US military. The indigenous people of Hawaii who have send their Islands invaded by American settlers and polluted and destroyed by the US navy. Both Okinawa and Hawaii used to be independent sovereign countries internationally recognized across the world until they got invaded and illegally annexed by the US and Japan in the late 19th century. Those are the people who are really being oppressed.

In February 1972, then US President Richard Nixon visited China, met with Chinese leaders ** and **, and signed the Sino US joint communique, also known as the Shanghai Communique. In the communique, the US government " recognises " that all Chinese adhere to the One-China principle and that Taiwan is part of China. The U.S. government also said it looks forward to a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue and a gradual reduction in military and political ties with Taiwan. This is the first time that the United States has recognized Taiwan as part of China in an official document, and it is also an important beginning of the normalization of China-Us relations.

@kolenyau1 23 күн бұрын

First off, Taiwan is NOT a self-governing province of China. It is a province but has since 1949 been taken over by the Republic of China (ROC) when it had to flee there from mainland China after it was defeated by CCP. Taiwan in reality is the sovereign state of ROC. Secondly, the leaders in Taipei have to play to the tune of US which uses Taiwan as an anti-China card/ chess. Taiwan is a pawn in the US - China game. Both US and China know it; and Taiwan is trying to manage the situation as best it could.

@YouTubeCensorsEverything 23 күн бұрын

There's a paradox with China's claim on Taiwan & Taiwan's lack of response to the 9 dash line. The Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam are all on the frontline here. Not only islands but low lying seas being fought over as land or more specifically territory takes everyone along for a ride along the 9 dash line. Certain places belong to certain countries and setting up bases near another country is offensive to that country if you did so without their permission. No law, neither the 9 dash line or the law of the sea is going to solve this. Everyone has to establish themselves and stand up for themselves while China searches out everywhere they can find a stronghold. Chinese activities are creating more needs among every country in the region. Some with more power than others. Stand up for yourself or find yourself being neighbor to a Chinese military base.
