The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command announced that military maneuvers continue today in the sea and airspace around Taiwan and “focus on organizing joint submarine and naval attack operations.” We read it in a note.
In response to US spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taipei, Beijing initially indicated a period of maneuvers from August 4 to 7. Yesterday, however, Pla con issued announcements about the end of its war games, but Taiwan’s Ministry of Transport had announced a return to normal transport after it “banned flying and navigation” in six of the seven zones around the island, which had failed since noon . The ban on the seventh zone in the waters to the east would remain in effect until 10 a.m. local time (4 in Italy) on Monday 8 August. But the new announcement appears to be reshuffling the cards and giving the green light to routine drills across the island.
