The Chinese military announced that it was “conducting military exercises around Taiwan as a strong warning against US-Taiwan coordination.” He also made it clear that “China and Russia’s joint strategic air exercises are not aimed at the third aspect.”
Yesterday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that a Russian Tu-95MS fighter jet and Chinese strategic bombers (Hon BK) conducted a 13-hour patrol over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.
And the People’s Liberation Army of China announced earlier this month that “Chinese military forces conducted a series of exercises near Taiwan to improve joint fighting” after an increase in Chinese hostilities was found on the Chinese-claimed island.
Over the past two years, Taiwan has complained about frequent Chinese military operations near it, most of which are concentrated in the southern and southwestern parts of the island’s air defense identification zone.
