China is reportedly responding to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen\u2019s meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California a few days ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is being reported that China is responding to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen\u2019s meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California this past week by starting military drills around Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Zerohedge<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

China has begun three days of military drills around Taiwan and in the Taiwan Strait as its direct response to\u00a0Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen\u2019s meeting with US House Speaker\u00a0Kevin McCarthy in California held days ago.<\/p>\n

Parts of the drills are expected to extend up to 12 days. WSJ notes that this is what greeted the return of\u00a0Tsai to her home<\/a>: \u201cHours after President\u00a0Tsai Ing-wen\u00a0returned to Taiwan on Friday night, Chinese maritime safety authorities said the country\u2019s navy planned to conduct seven live-fire exercises over the course of 12 days off the coast of Fujian province, which faces Taiwan, starting Saturday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Wednesday meeting with McCarthy was presented by the allies as a show of democratic solidarity, Beijing had warned of \u201cresolute measures\u201d while\u00a0deploying an aircraft carrier strike group off the self-ruled island\u2019s coast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Early Saturday, China launched\u00a0live-fire \u201ccombat readiness patrols\u201d until April 10<\/strong>, according to a statement from the People\u2019s Liberation Army\u2019s (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command.\u00a0The drills are called\u00a0United Sharp Sword and expand in scope from the north to south of the island, utilizing air and sea, particularly airspace to Taiwan\u2019s east, the statement indicated.<\/p>\n

The drills have already involved on Saturday\u00a0a whopping\u00a071 Chinese military aircraft crossing the sensitive median line<\/strong>\u00a0of the Taiwan Strait,\u00a0Reuters<\/em><\/a>\u00a0confirms.<\/p>\n

New video on the first day of PLA encirclement drills around the island of Taiwan includes participation of:

\n-Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft
\n-H-6K bombers

In December, China sent 71 jets on a military drill near Taiwan as well.\u00a0 We\u2019re not sure why they stick to the number of 71 military jets.<\/p>\n

China Does It Again \u2013 Sends 27 Aircraft Into Taiwan\u2019s Air Defense Zone<\/a><\/p>\n\n

China also this past week<\/a> also sanctioned two outfits involved in the meeting between Speaker McCarthy and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Friday the Washington-headquartered think tank Hudson Institute and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California would be banned from any cooperation, exchange or transaction with institutions and individuals in\u00a0China<\/a>.<\/p>\n
