China Conducting Military Drills in Yellow, South China Seas This Week
Earlier in September, the Chinese military conducted live-fire drills in the South China Sea near Vietnam's maritime border.
The latest escalation around Taiwan took place in April after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen met with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the United States. Beijing responded by launching massive three-day military drills near the island in what it called a warning to Taiwanese separatists and foreign powers. In August, the Taiwanese armed forces reported multiple sightings of Chinese naval and air patrols in the island's vicinity.
