China continues Strait drills for third day

China yesterday held live-fire drills off Taiwan proper for a third consecutive day, with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Military Zone command saying that its exercises focused on surface bombardment and maritime assault capabilities.
China arbitrarily set restricted airspace zones around Taiwan proper, unilaterally changing the “status quo” in the Taiwan Strait and disrupting peace in the Asia-Pacific region, the Ministry of National Defense said.
As of 5pm yesterday, it had tracked about 20 planes and 14 ships operating near the Strait’s median line, the ministry said.
About 10 Sukhoi Su-30s and four J-11s crossed the median line, approaching Taiwan proper
