China warns US with 'counterattack' as they surround Taiwan with military drills - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Any act of provocation on the Taiwan issue will surely be met with a firm counterattack from the Chinese side."
"China's defence of national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity is unswerving."
"Our armed forces operate on the principle of preparing for the worst and must take every possible scenario into account. Conducting live-fire exercises around the Taiwan Strait...would not only constitute military pressure on us, but could also pose more complex challenges and impacts for the international community and neighbouring countries."
"In response to today's #PLA aircraft and naval activity, the #ROCArmedForces conducted Rapid Response Exercises and closely monitored the situation. Joint sea and air operations with all services and the Taiwan Coast Guard remain on high alert. #FullAwareness pic.twitter.com/urRlOh4cUL - 國防部 Ministry of National Defense, ROC(Taiwan) 🇹🇼 (@MoNDefense) December 29, 2025"
China has deployed warships and fighter jets to encircle Taiwan and is conducting live military drills simulating strikes on sea and land targets. This marks the sixth set of military drills surrounding the island as Beijing asserts that Taiwan belongs to China. China's foreign ministry warned that any act of provocation on the Taiwan issue will be met with a firm counterattack and affirmed an unswerving defense of national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Taiwan deployed its armed forces, conducted Rapid Response Exercises, kept joint sea and air operations with the Taiwan Coast Guard on high alert, and labeled the Chinese Communist Party an aggressor. The military blockade followed Washington's weapons sales to Taiwan and moves by Japan's Prime Minister Sanar Takaichi.
