💨 Abstract

China's military conducted long-range, live-fire drills in the East China Sea on Wednesday, practicing precision strikes on port and energy facilities. Taiwan said none took place near its territory. The exercises come after rising Chinese rhetoric against Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, criticism from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and China's denunciation of Lai as a "separatist."
