Taiwan is conducting combat-realistic drills for immediate readiness for a third day, during which Chinese vessels and aircraft were observed near the Taiwan Strait, Liberty Times and others reported.

Taiwan said the drills focus on 'speed' of response, checking readiness through reservist call-ups and training that assumes a realistic combat environment.

China has described its vessel and aircraft activity as normal training; the two sides explain military activity through their own security logic, and interpretations differ.

Stability in the Taiwan Strait directly affects regional peace and global supply chains; the importance of communication and restraint to prevent accidental clashes is repeatedly stressed.

This paper neither criticizes nor favors either side, conveying military activity fact-first and in balance, and hoping for regional stability.
