China’s military said it was sending a warning to Taiwanese separatist forces with drills around the island, days after Taiwan’s vice president passed through the US and met with American officials in Paraguay.
The joint navy and air force combat readiness exercise was a “stern warning” to those colluding with foreign forces, the People’s Liberation Army said Saturday. In a later statement the PLA said it was testing the coordination and resistance capabilities of the Eastern Theater Command troops in the north of Taiwan with “submarine detection,” “anti-submarine” and other exercises.
