Chinese Mobile long-range firing system can cover entire Taiwan: expert
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted live-fire military drills from August 4 to 7, in six different areas that encircle the island of Taiwan from all directions.
"Our army's long-range firing system can range from tens to hundreds of kilometers, and can cover the entire island of Taiwan, which means that we can hit whenever we want, however we want and wherever we want," said Major-General Meng Xiangqing, a professor with the PLA National Defense University. #China #Taiwan

#China says it ‘completed tasks’ around #Taiwan
The military has announced the successful completion of assignments around the island, but added it will continue regular patrols
China has announced an end to the unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan, which were launched following the controvercial visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taipei.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said on Wednesday that it had “successfully completed various missions during recent drills around Taiwan island and effectively tested the troop’s joint operation combat capacity,” as reported by the Global Times.
China said it will continue “military training and preparation,” and organize patrols in the Taiwan Strait in order to “resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Eastern Theater Command spokesperson Colonel Shi Yi said.
The announcement comes shortly after Beijing released a White Paper refusing to rule out the use of force in its efforts to unify Taiwan with the mainland, noting, however, that it will strive for a peaceful unification.
“We will work with the greatest sincerity and exert our utmost efforts to achieve peaceful reunification. But we will not renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures,” the document read.
Beijing noted that this contingency was needed to prevent “external interference and separatist activities” and accused “anti-Chinese forces in the US” of deliberately escalating tensions between China and Taiwan.
Last week, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a controversial visit to the self-governing island despite multiple protests from the Chinese government. In response, Beijing launched “unprecedented” military exercises and live-fire drills in six maritime areas around Taiwan.
The maneuvers included the simulation of a “blockade” of the island, as well as amphibious assaults and the striking of ground targets, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry.
China considers Taiwan an inalienable part of its territory and views visits such as Pelosi’s as an attack on its sovereignty and a violation of the ‘One China’ principle, under which most countries refrain from diplomatic recognition of Taiwan.
