China is deploying air and sea drills around the island to prepare for the island invasion and change the status quo in the Asia-Pacific region
The ongoing Chinese maneuvers pose a threat to Taiwan and all of Asia. This is the alert from the island’s foreign minister, Joseph Wu, that “China has used the drills and its military manual to prepare to invade Taiwan.” At a press conference, Wu added that “Beijing’s real intention is to transform the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and across the Asia-Pacific region.”

Wu argues that China has expanded military exercises around the island in a clear attempt to control the Taiwan Strait and waters in the wider Asia-Pacific region. “It conducts large-scale military drills and missile launches, as well as cyber-attacks, a campaign of disinformation and economic coercion to erode public morals in Taiwan,” he added.
