🇨🇳 PLA launches large-scale ‘Just Mission-2025’ drills around Taiwan — reports

China’s People’s Liberation Army has begun large-scale exercises dubbed “Just Mission-2025” around Taiwan, involving ground forces, the navy, the air force, and rocket forces of the PLA’s Eastern Theater Command, according to a PLA report.

The drills are taking place in the Taiwan Strait as well as parts of the East China Sea, South China Sea, and the Philippine Sea. The exercises include practicing patrol operations, joint actions, and blocking key facilities.

The PLA said the drills are intended to test joint operations capabilities and serve as a warning to supporters of “Taiwan independence.”

Live-fire drills are scheduled for December 30, and ships have been advised to avoid entering the exercise areas, the report said.

On December 17, US State Department approved possible arms sales to Taiwan totaling about $11.1 billion.

⚠️ China has repeatedly stressed that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and has consistently opposed US arms sales to the island, warning such actions violate the one-China principle and contribute to regional destabilization.
