The second day of the large-scale war games, called “Justice Mission 2025,” saw the Chinese military encircle Taiwan on Tuesday.

Beijing’s military launched a massive simulated blockade of Taiwan, sending a warning to the independent island after the U.S. approved an $11 billion arms sale.

China's two-day military drills around Taiwan drew sharp international condemnation. The EU, UK, Japan, and others voiced serious concern, warning the show of force risks destabilizing the Indo-Pacific and escalating regional tensions.
