Global Times says, citing military analysts, the exercises were"unprecedented" and that missiles would fly over Taiwan for the first time.
Nationalist state-run tabloid Global Times said, citing military analysts, that the exercises were "unprecedented" and that missiles would fly over Taiwan for the first time. The drills come as Group of Seven leaders urged Beijing to show restraint while the ASEAN foreign ministers also warned the situation "could destabilise the region and eventually could lead to miscalculation, serious confrontation and unpredictable consequences among major powers."
The exercises are aimed to "shock and deter against the major escalation of the United States' recent negative actions on the Taiwan issue, and a serious warning to the Taiwan independence forces," said the spokesperson of Eastern Theatre Command, Shi Yi.CCTV news broadcast features a map of locations around Taiwan where China will conduct military exercises and training activities.
