Taiwan President Lai Ching-te gives a keynote address on national day to mark the 113th birthday of the Republic of China , Taiwan 's formal name, in Taipei, Taiwan October 10, 2024. China 's military launched a new round of war games near Taiwan on Monday, saying it was a warning to the "separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces," drawing condemnation from the Taipei and U.S. governments.
Chinese ships and aircraft are approaching Taiwan in "close proximity from different directions," focusing on sea-air combat-readiness patrols, blockading key ports and areas, assaulting maritime and ground targets and "joint seizure of comprehensive superiority," the command said. In the face of the further political, military and economic threats posed by China to Taiwan in recent days, Taiwan would not back down, Taiwan's China-policy making Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement.
Joseph Wu, the secretary-general of Taiwan's National Security Council, said Taiwan would "stay alert" but would remain "moderate and responsible, maintain status quo across the Taiwan Strait." A senior Taiwan security official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation, said they believed China was practicing blockading Taiwanese ports to the north and south of the island and international shipping lanes as well as repelling the arrival of foreign forces.
