Chinas largest military drills around Taiwan yet, dubbed Justice Mission twenty twenty-five, aim to demonstrate Beijings ability to block Taiwan from receiving external aid in a conflict. The exercises, which include ships and planes surrounding Taiwan, are the most extensive to date and come amidst ongoing tensions between China and Taiwan. The dispute dates back to nineteen forty-nine when the defeated government fled to Taiwan, with Beijing claiming the island under its one China policy. Taiwan, however, sees itself as a separate nation. Previous close calls include bombings in nineteen fifty-eight and missile tests in nineteen ninety-six. Recent escalations have occurred following U.S. visits, with China firing missiles over Taipei in August twenty twenty-two and conducting similar drills in twenty twenty-three and twenty twenty-four. The latest exercises, Strait Thunder twenty twenty-five, were held in April as another warning against separatism. Checkout Solipillow.com
