China: Chinese forces surrounding Taiwan..!

China is deploying its navy around Taiwan at its highest level in three decades, prompting Beijing to warn Taipei against tolerating separatism.

 China’s aggression in the waters around Taiwan Island has increased. The Dragon has deployed its forces around Taiwan at a level never seen in three decades. This has led to increased military activity in the Taiwan Strait. China responded to its latest deployments on Wednesday. It said that it will take necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty. It said that it will not tolerate separatist activities. Zhao Fenglian, a spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said, “Beijing is extremely vigilant about the actions of Taiwan separatists colluding with external forces. Nothing that is out of our control should happen. We will take all necessary measures to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and establish stability in the Taiwan Strait.” On the other hand, the PLA has not made any statement on the reason for these deployments. 

Recently, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te visited Hawaii and Guam, both US territories. These actions have deeply angered Beijing. In this context, Taiwan has started massive military deployments around it. Speaking to an English news agency, a senior Taiwanese official said that Beijing is doing this to send a political message to the new executive committee that will take charge in America. The Taiwanese military estimated that the Chinese army had been planning for about 70 days and had carried out the latest deployments to that extent. The government of Taiwanese President Lai has already denied Beijing’s sovereign rights over their country. 

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry responded on Tuesday by saying Beijing had deployed its navy to the highest level in three decades, posing a more serious threat than previous Chinese military exercises.
