China’s military announced that it completed a number of undefined tasks around Taiwan on Aug. 10, signaling that it would be scaling down ongoing joint exercises in the region.

However, the Eastern Theater Command, which oversees China’s military in the region nearest Taiwan, also stated that it would be normalizing its harassing sorties of fighter jets into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone and across the median line of the Taiwan Strait.
