The exercise marks the first time China has sought to control the interior of the entire first island chain, which stretches from Japan through Taiwan to the Philippines and Borneo in the south, to achieve military deterrence

➡️China has not yet officially announced the start of the exercise .

➡️The number of ships deployed by the Chinese navy is "very surprising."

➡️The Chinese military is trying not only to completely close off Taiwan , but also to expand its forces beyond the island.

➡️The Chinese ships are stationed between the first and second island chains , forming a “double wall” in eastern Taiwan. Their intentions are clear. They seek to designate the Taiwan Strait as an “inland sea,” with the primary goal of lowering the guard of the Taiwanese people and military and catching them off guard.

➡️The scale of China's naval deployment , spanning from Japan's southern islands to the South China Sea, poses a major threat and is the largest since Beijing began military maneuvers around Taiwan in the run-up to the 1996 elections.

➡️No live-fire exercises are conducted in the seven designated reserved areas. There are no overflight restrictions on aircraft except for aircraft entering designated areas.

➡️The areas bypass international flight routes and are located west of the median line of the Taiwan Strait, stretching about 1,000 km from east of Shanghai to Fujian. The targets of "intimidation" are not limited to Taiwan.

➡️The expansion of the Chinese Navy and Coast Guard's range of operations eastward into the Western Pacific has clear indications.
