On Monday, Dec. 29, 2025, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army kicked off large-scale drills around Taiwan Island, code-named 'Justice Mission 2025'. 🌐
At a daily press briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian issued a stark warning: any despicable act of crossing the line or making provocations on the Taiwan question will be met with a resolute response by the Chinese mainland. Lin stressed that any attempt to thwart the Chinese mainland's endeavor for reunification is doomed to fail. ⚡️
According to the Chinese mainland’s defense authorities, these exercises aim to test joint operations, sharpen combat readiness, and safeguard national sovereignty. The drills include live-fire exercises, air patrols, and naval maneuvers in the waters surrounding Taiwan Island.
For young professionals and students keeping an eye on global affairs, this development is a clear reminder of the complex dynamics in cross-strait ties. Analysts say the show of force serves as both a deterrent and a message to international audiences about the Chinese mainland’s firm stance on national unity.
Travelers planning to explore the Taiwan region or nearby waters should stay updated on official notices from local authorities, as some shipping lanes and air routes may be temporarily affected. ✈️🚢
