TAIPEI—China’s communist regime would be committing an act of war should it decide to impose a blockade on Taiwan, Taipei’s Defense Minister Wellington Koo warned on Oct. 23, a week after the regime held military drills that encircled the island.
Speaking to reporters at Taiwan’s Legislature, Koo was asked about China’s recent military drills, which the Chinese military dubbed “Joint Sword-2024B.” During the one-day exercise on Oct. 14, Chinese aircraft and vessels engaged in drills that included a blockade of key ports and areas.
