China's military announced it will conduct joint drills around Taiwan, including live-fire exercises, starting Monday. The People's Liberation Army stated these maneuvers, codenamed "Justice Mission-2025," are a stern warning against "Taiwan independence" forces and "external interference." This action follows the US approval of a significant arms package for Taiwan and comes amid heightened tensions, with Beijing viewing Taiwan as a breakaway province. The drills will involve the army, navy, air force, and rocket force, testing combat capabilities and simulating blockade scenarios.
