The Defense Ministry in Beijing stated, 'Whether or not to hold exercises and when to hold them is a matter for us to decide on our own according to our own needs and the situation of the struggle.' This underscores China's assertive stance on military readiness, reflecting a calculated strategy regarding Taiwan's independence narrative.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry warned that 'China's threat to the region has been evolving since 2022,' indicating ongoing tensions and the need for vigilance against increased military posturing from Beijing.
In response to the recent military exercises, Taiwan noted that 'all the Chinese coast guard went back to China yesterday... we consider it over,' suggesting that while tensions may rise, there are periods of relative calm.
China's military activities, including 'simulating attacks on foreign ships and practicing blockading sea routes,' signal not just a threat to Taiwan but a broader strategy impacting regional maritime security.
