The Chinese military began military exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan on the 14th and stated that the reason for the training was “a warning against separatist actions by Taiwanese independence forces.”
The Eastern Theater of the People’s Liberation Army of China issued a statement in Chinese and English on this day, saying, “We will organize rocket units and other units of the Army, Navy, and Air Force in the Taiwan Strait and northern, southern, and eastern Taiwan to carry out joint training exercises called Li Jian.” )-2024B’ training has begun,” he said.

Previously, Taiwan President Lai Ching-de said at the National Foundation Day (Double Ten Festival) event on the 10th, “China has no right to represent Taiwan.” He also said at the National Foundation Day event on the 5th, “Considering the age (of the country), China (75 years old) cannot be Taiwan’s motherland.”
Regarding President Lai’s emphasis on the ‘two-nation theory’, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maoning said, “It has revealed an evil intention to increase tensions with Taiwan for political self-interest.” At the same time, he warned that attempting provocation by promoting ‘independence’ is a ‘path to death.’
The Chinese military began military training to surround Taiwan three days after President Lai took office in May of this year. The name of the training was ‘Joint Sword-2024A’, and it was explained that it contained strong disciplinary implications for Taiwan’s independence separatist forces.
At the time, President Lai said in his inauguration speech that Taiwan has sovereignty and should dialogue and cooperate with China as equals.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense criticized China’s moves today as “irrational and provocative actions” and announced that it would dispatch its own troops.
