🔥 China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command kicked off large-scale drills code-named "Justice Mission 2025" around Taiwan Island on Monday.
The timing is key: these exercises followed the U.S. announcement of sizeable arms sales to the Taiwan region. By training in nearby waters, Beijing is sending a clear message. 💥
According to Hsieh Chih-chuan, a Taiwan-based commentator, the goal is to deliver a "head-on blow" to separatist forces on the island—essentially a strong deterrent against any push for independence. 🛡️
For young pros on the move, this move underlines how military drills and global arms deals can rapidly shape regional tensions. Stay tuned as events unfold in the Taiwan Strait. 🌐
