Chinese Launches Largest Military Drills of 2025 Around Taiwan

China's military commenced joint army, navy, and rocket force exercises around Taiwan on Tuesday, with the Shandong aircraft carrier group entering Taiwan's response area on Monday.
These exercises follow increased military activity around Taiwan by the Chinese Communist Party and condemnations of Taiwan's President Lai Ching-Te as a 'separatist' and 'parasite' for his 'independence' provocations.
The exercises focused on combat readiness patrols, seizing comprehensive control, striking maritime and land targets, and imposing blockade controls, simulating closing in on Taiwan from multiple directions, and releasing propaganda videos depicting attacks on the island.
China characterized the exercises as a 'stern warning and forceful deterrent' against Taiwanese independence, while also releasing a video depicting President Lai as a cartoon bug held by chopsticks above a burning Taiwan, with the animation stating, 'Parasite courting ultimate destruction'.
Taiwan responded by dispatching military aircraft and ships, activating land-based missile systems, establishing a response center to monitor Chinese military activities, and condemning the exercises as escalating tensions, challenging the international order, and undermining regional security, while Japan is planning to evacuate 120,000 Okinawa islanders.
