The Chinese regime’s military said on Oct. 11 that it carried out military drills including simulated beach landings and assaults in Fujian Province, which lies just west of Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait.

Self-ruled Taiwan has criticized Beijing’s escalated military harassment in recent weeks, which included a record show of force from the regime’s air force over the island’s air defense zone.
