China warned that US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi would take a hardline response to Taiwan’s visit, and announced that it would conduct military exercises in the South China Sea from the 2nd to the 6th.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs of China announced on its website on the 1st that it would conduct military exercises from 00:00 on the 2nd to 12pm on the 6th in the four seas of the South China Sea and its connecting waters, and not to allow ships to enter the seas.
This is interpreted as a measure to check Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
Previously, the Pingtan Maritime Bureau of Fujian Province, China, announced that live ammunition training would be held from 8 am to 9 pm on the 30th of last month at four points in the waters near Pingtan Island, 126 km from Hsinchu County, northern Taiwan, and banned the entry of ships.
Chairman Pelosi, who started a tour of East Asia, starting with a visit to Singapore on the 1st, continues to remain silent regarding whether to visit Taiwan.
