The Chinese military has been conducting patrols and military exercises around Taiwan for three days until the 10th. This is the second consecutive day that more than 70 aircraft have been confirmed in the airspace around Taiwan. The aim of the exercises is believed to be to control the airspace between Taiwan and the United States. On the other hand, on the morning of the 9th, two ships that looked like military ships carrying the Chinese flag could be seen, and cars that look like military vehicles were also driving on the street.

China was due to hold live-fire drills on Monday to round off three days of military exercises in response to Taiwan's president meeting with the US House speaker. Dubbed "Joint Sword", the three-day operation has included rehearsing an encirclement of Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command said. China's war games involved sending planes, ships and personnel into "the maritime areas and air space" around all four sides of Taiwan.

BEIJING, China – China is brandishing a wide array of military equipment and weapons as it conducts drills around Taiwan intended to intimidate the self-ruled island.
