Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) China conducted military drills off Taiwan after Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited the island nation.
China announced earlier this week that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) plans to conduct military drills in six zones around Taiwan, according to France24 reporting on Thursday.
Speaking during her visit on Wednesday, Pelosi stressed “our delegation came to Taiwan to make unequivocally clear that we will not abandon Taiwan.”
PLA, the military wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), pointed out that it launched missiles as part of military exercises, with five of the missiles landing in Japan’s exclusive economic zone off Hateruma, according to Japanese authorities.
