The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command began joint military exercises around the island of Taiwan on April 1. The drills come amid concerns over increasing activities of “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.
According to official statements, the exercises are a routine action to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The PLA aims to send a clear message about the importance of maintaining stability and preventing any actions that could escalate tensions in the region.
Observers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are closely monitoring the situation. Many emphasize the need for dialogue and cooperation to ensure peace and prosperity for people across the Strait.
The international community is also watching these developments, highlighting the significance of peaceful relations and mutual understanding in addressing regional issues.
