China’s military will carry out drills for some days off its coast near Taiwan, the government announced, after president Tsai concluded a visit to the US where she met America’s third-ranking official.
These military exercises are set to run from 8am to 12pm Saturday local time off the eastern coast of Fuzhou, the capital of the mainland’s Fujian province and opposite Taiwan, according to a notice from the Fujian maritime safety administration on Friday. The exercises will continue at the same hours next Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as well as April 17 and 20, said the administrator, with signs for all ships to refrain from entering the waterway.
Live firing will also take place in another area off the coast of Pingtan county of Fujian from 7am to 8pm next Monday.
Without mentioning President Tsai Ing-wen’s travels, the announcement came just a few hours after the Taiwanese leader returned home on Friday from a 10-day tour to Central America that included stopovers in New York and Los Angeles.
She met US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a bipartisan group of 17 other American lawmakers on Wednesday during her California trip.
