PLA Conducts 2 Days of Live Fire Drills in Taiwan Strait off Fujian Island The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has begun two days of live fire drills in the Taiwan Strait, off the coast of Fujian island.
The exercises have prompted concerns about Beijing's intentions and their implications for regional stability. At first glance, these drills may seem like a routine display of China's growing military capabilities.
However, the timing of this exercise coincides with the completion of Beijing's fisheries resource survey in waters east of Taiwan.
