China’s military on Wednesday said it was continuing a large-scale military exercise around the island of Taiwan. On the second day of the exercise, units were running drills in the central and southern part of the Taiwan Strait, said the spokesman for the Chinese military’s Eastern Theatre Command, Shi Yi, with the exercise involving precision strikes on simulated key targets.
The exercise was titled “Strait Thunder-2025A”. Last year, China held two major military exercises around Taiwan in May and October, titled Joint Sword-2024A and Joint Sword-2024B. The joint exercise involving the army, navy, air force and missile unit began on Tuesday. Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said it had been monitoring the movements of Chinese military assets since Saturday.
