Taiwan says China is conducting 'area denial' drills in Western Pacific
Taiwan said the drills involve the Liaoning carrier group and more than 100 Chinese ships as Beijing seeks to deter outside intervention.
- On Tuesday, Taiwan Defence Minister Wellington Koo said China is conducting 'area denial' drills in the Western Pacific involving the Liaoning aircraft carrier and other naval formations.
- Last week, Taiwan National Security Council Secretary-General Joseph Wu detailed deployments of more than 100 Chinese naval and Coast Guard ships operating off Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the Pacific.
- Anti-Access/area denial, or A2AD, strategies aim to prevent outside forces from intervening in regional conflicts. Koo said Taiwan is utilizing joint intelligence and surveillance to monitor these deployments and respond appropriately.
- Koo stated military deterrence is intended to undermine peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, while Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.
- The drills precede the APEC summit in Shenzhen next week, where President Donald Trump is expected to meet Chinese President Jinping, and Taiwan's local elections at the end of this month.
