China launches military exercises around Taiwan

It is reported that China has started a military exercise around Taiwan and the US is keeping an eye on that exercise.

Taiwan is an autonomous island nation near China. In the past, Taiwan was part of China and China still considers Taiwan as their own. China has said on several occasions that it will take over Taiwan by 2025.

The Quad Summit was held in Tokyo, Japan recently. The Quad is a Security Cooperation Council founded by the United States, India, Australia and Japan. The summit is aimed at countering China’s threats to the Asian region.

At the summit, US President Joe Biden said that if China were to invade Taiwan, the United States would support Taiwan. This provoked strong opposition from China, which is said to have launched a military exercise around Taiwan challenging that statement.

Meanwhile, Tan Kifi, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Defense, said that all measures would be taken to thwart Taiwan’s independence and separatist efforts.
