The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continues its large-scale military exercise north, south and east of the island of Taiwan, the PLA's Eastern Theater Command said in a statement.
"The Eastern Theater Command has organized Air Force and Navy units in coordination with conventional missile forces and long-range artillery units in the waters north, south and east of the island of Taiwan," the statement notes.
The Eastern Theater Command also released a poster showing the island surrounded on three sides with a caption reading: "The threat of a blockade: the more noise, the stronger the deterrence."
On April 1, the Eastern Theater Command announced the start of comprehensive drills around Taiwan, which involve ground troops, missile forces, the Navy and the Air Force. The PLA is said to be practicing combat patrols, strikes on maritime and ground targets, and blockades of the transport links and key areas of an alleged adversary.

ReplyDeleteSeñaló que "se trata de un paso necesario para proteger la soberanía del Estado y la integridad territorial", subrayando que Pekín nunca permitirá a nadie separar a Taiwán de China. La independencia de Taiwán significa la guerra, añadió, y la búsqueda de la independencia taiwanesa empuja a los isleños a la línea de peligro del conflicto militar.
