International News: Chinese military says military drills near Taiwan over

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Chinese military says that almost a week of military drills near Taiwan is over, the BBC reports.

Taiwan had reported Chinese vessels and aircraft in possible simulated attacks just following the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week.

 Pelosi’s visit marked the first visit of a high-ranking U.S. official in 25 years.

“Our military has broadcast warnings, deployed combat air patrol and naval vessels, and activated land-based missile systems in response to the situation,” Taiwan’s Ministry of Defence noted.

China says that its sea and air operations were successful.

Taiwan stated that China’s drills were “an act of provocation” and used as a practice for an invasion.

China views Taiwan as its territory and has long vowed to “reunify” the self-governing democratic island.

Taiwan’s President, Tsai Ing-Wen made a call on the international community to express their support for Taiwan.

“Our government & military are closely monitoring China’s military exercises & information warfare operations, ready to respond as necessary. I call on the international community to support democratic Taiwan & halt any escalation of the regional security situation,” President Tsai stated.
