Original Note:
These drills, while provocative, are common with China doing similar ones earlier this year and in prior years. Contrary to the post, Taiwan is not surrounded, and China would need to move a substantial amount of troops and ships in place for any hypothetical invasion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Chinese_military_exercises_around_Taiwan?wprov=sfla1 https://www.dw.com/en/china-launches-fresh-war-games-around-taiwan/a-70483275 https://youtu.be/EAW30qmn9lQ?si=DXUubrj4ctGZy_S3
