China began military exercises after Pelosi’s visit.
After Nancy Pelosi left Taiwan soil, the Chinese military continued preparations to conduct large-scale military exercises that are to take place in six locations around Taiwan territory.
After 21 Chinese military warplanes entered Taiwan’s airspace yesterday, China continued to conduct military activities in the area under Taiwan’s control.
According to data from Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense, a total of 27 People’s Republic of China fighter jets entered Taiwan’s airspace on Wednesday, namely six J-11 jets, five J-16 jets and sixteen Su-30 jets.
All the military activities are taking place as part of the military exercises that Beijing announced yesterday, which are due to take place until Sunday.
In addition to the military response, Beijing announced that because of Pelosi’s arrival in Taiwan, Taipei will also introduce a series of economic sanctions, including the import of agricultural products.
“China’s customs services have suspended the import of lemons, oranges, and two types of fish.”
On the occasion of Pelosi’s visit and tensions between Taiwan and China, the head of Chinese diplomacy, Wang Yi, also spoke out, saying that the US continues to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
