China said on Wednesday it had "successfully completed" military drills around Taiwan that included live-fire exercises aimed at simulating a blockade of key ports and assaults on maritime targets.
"The PLA Eastern Theater Command has successfully completed 'Justice Mission 2025' drills," spokesperson Senior Captain Li Xi said in a statement, referring to the People's Liberation Army.
Troops would keep training to "resolutely thwart the attempts of 'Taiwan Independence' separatists and external intervention", he said.
