China has conducted large-scale unannounced military exercises across Taiwan and the western Pacific Ocean, involving more than 100 navy and coast guard ships, Reuters reports.
The exercises took place in early November. The Chinese military practiced attacks on enemy forces and cities, including Taiwan, as well as scenarios for a naval blockade of the island and large-scale operations in the Pacific Ocean. In addition, a Chinese submarine launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Yellow Sea towards mainland China.
