China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has started a joint military drill near Taiwan. This information has been given by China’s official newspaper Global Times.

Also, PLA forces will enter Taiwan within 12 nautical miles, or 22 kilometers. In this exercise, the armies will cross the median line and surround Taiwan from all sides. The purpose of the PLA is to take complete control of Taiwan by taking it under pressure.In the exercise launched by the Eastern Theater Command of the PLM on Wednesday by the Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, Strategic Support Force and Joint Logistic Support Force, Taiwan has been surrounded from all directions. This was informed by issuing a press release on behalf of the command.
