BEIJING: (Dec 29) The Chinese military on Monday started new major drills in the “middle areas” of the Taiwan Strait amid rising diplomatic tensions with Japan over Taiwan that Beijing claims as its territory.
“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command is employing fighters, bombers and unmanned aerial vehicles in coordination with long-range rocket fires to conduct drills in the waters and airspace in the middle areas of the Taiwan Strait on Monday,” state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Focusing on striking mobile ground targets, the drills intend to test the troops’ capabilities of precision strikes on key targets, it said.
