💨 Abstract

The Pentagon has criticized China for conducting military exercises around Taiwan, calling them irresponsible, disproportionate, and destabilizing. The Chinese military's Eastern Theater Command held the "Joint Sword-2024B" drills in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding areas. China's defense ministry warned that these drills increased pressure against Taiwan independence and hinted at more exercises to follow.
