4. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin), Hsieh Ching-Chin, Taiwan Coastguard Deputy Director-General:
“Regarding this military drill, I think that China is adopting a threat and intimidation approach. They unilaterally altered the peace and stability. This not only violates the international laws, but also threatens the safety of ships cruising on the sea.”
5. Close Taiwan defense ministry logo
6. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin), Hsieh Ching-Chin, Taiwan Coastguard Deputy Director-General:
“Currently, we have detected nine Chinese coastguard ships at east of the Taiwan Strait’s median line and the waters near Taiwan. Taiwan’s coastguard has dispatched 11 ships and 11 smaller boats to monitor them; that makes two to three of our ships monitoring each one of them.”
7. Wide military officers leaving the presser
STORYLINE:
China conducted military drills around Taiwan for a second day Wednesday, focusing on the Taiwan Strait — a crucial conduit for international trade separating the self-governing island democracy from China.
The Strait Thunder-2025A drills were held in the middle and southern areas of the strait, a People’s Liberation Army spokesperson said.
Taiwan’s military said that it was closely monitoring the drills, but there was nothing unusual on the island of 23 million people that China claims as its own territory.
