China's military has initiated large-scale war games, dubbed "Justice Mission 2025," encircling Taiwan with live-fire exercises and simulated assaults. This is Beijing's sixth major drill since 2022, occurring after a significant U.S. arms sale to Taiwan. The island nation has vowed to defend its democracy and rehearsed repelling a potential attack, urging China to cease provocations. The drills involve multiple military branches and aim to test coordinated offensive capabilities.
