BEIJING, 16 April 2022, (TON): China said it conducted military drills around Taiwan, as a US Congressional delegation visited the island, in a move the People’s Liberation Army said was intended to target the wrong signals sent by the United States.
According to China’s state broadcaster “China’s military sent frigates, bombers and fighter planes to the East China Sea and the area around Taiwan, People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command spokesman Shi Yilu said.”
Shi said, without mentioning the visiting US lawmakers “this operation is in response to the recent frequent release of wrong signals by the United States on the Taiwan issue.”
He said “the US bad actions and tricks are completely futile and very dangerous. Those who play with fire will burn themselves.”
During a Friday meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ingwen, US Senator Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the technology hub is a country of global significance and its security has implications for the world.
