Taiwan’s military detected a buildup of Chinese forces marshaling along China’s Fujian Province, a coastal region bordering the Taiwan Strait. These Chinese “military exercises,” as it’s being reported, are being “conducted at Fujian’s Dacheng Bay” and feature an “undisclosed numbers of People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) warplanes, warships, and ground troops.” Taiwanese Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng stated that the reason for publicizing recent Chinese military movements around Taiwan was due to the “abnormity” of the situation.
