The PLA Eastern Theater Command launched large-scale military exercises around the Taiwan region this week, with a striking video showing a drone flying directly over Taipei 101 – the iconic skyscraper that dominates Taipei's skyline 🌆. Codenamed 'Justice Mission 2025,' the drills involve multiple branches of China's military operating in strategic areas surrounding Taiwan.
Multi-Force Coordination
According to official releases, the drills feature:
🚢 Naval deployments in the Taiwan Strait
✈️ Air force sorties north and southeast of Taiwan
🎯 Rocket force participation
📸 First confirmed drone footage over central Taipei
Analysts note this marks the most comprehensive display of coordinated forces since 2023's 'Joint Sword' exercises.
Regional Reactions
While the Taiwan authorities called the drills 'provocative,' mainland officials emphasized they're 'necessary defenses against separatist activities.' The drills come as global attention focuses on tech security in the Asia-Pacific region, with semiconductor exports from Taiwan remaining a key geopolitical factor 💻🌏.
