China has asserted its control over military activities around Taiwan, rejecting external influence by stating, "Whether or not to hold exercises and when to hold them is a matter for us to decide on our own".
The recent military drills near Taiwan, involving around 90 vessels in total, signify China's commitment to assert its influence and military capability in the region.
Taiwan signaled the conclusion of these military maneuvers from China, as all Chinese coast guard units returned to their bases, meaning "we consider it over" according to defense officials.
