TAIPEI, Taiwan \u2014 The Chinese military held large-scale joint combat strike drills starting Sunday, sending war planes and navy vessels toward Taiwan<\/a>, both the Chinese and Taiwanese defense ministries said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercises coincided with the visit of a group of German lawmakers who landed in Taiwan on Monday morning. Leading the delegation is the Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, who leads the German Parliament\u2019s Defense Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German lawmakers will meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, as well as Taiwan\u2019s National Security Council head and the Mainland Affairs Council, which handles issues related to China<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China has stepped up its pressure on Taiwan\u2019s military in recent years by sending warplanes or navy vessels on an almost-daily basis toward the self-ruled island. China claims sovereignty over the island, which split from the mainland in 1949 after a civil war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday\u2019s exercises have continued into Monday, Taiwan\u2019s defense ministry said, monitoring Chinese warplanes and navy vessels on its missile systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s actions \u201chave severely disrupted the peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits and surrounding waters,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of 24 hours between 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday morning, China\u2019s People\u2019s Liberation Army flew 57 warplanes and four ships toward Taiwan, Taiwan\u2019s Ministry of National Defense said in a statement Monday morning. Twenty-eight of those planes crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that both sides had previously stood by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China announced the drills around 11 p.m. Sunday, saying their \u201cprimary target was to practice land-strikes and sea assaults,\u201d according to a statement from Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the PLA\u2019s Eastern Theater Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of December, China sent a record 71 planes and 7 ships<\/a> toward Taiwan, the largest such scale exercise in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwan will hold its annual two-day military drills starting Wednesday. The exercise ahead of Lunar New Year holidays is aimed at showcasing its defense capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
