The CCP’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has admitted its military drills around Taiwan are designed to test its ability to “seize power” over the island as aggressive manoeuvres near the island enter a second day.

It described its sending of warships and fighter jets into the area around Taiwan and its outlying islands as “a strong punishment for separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces.”
