The exercises will include anti-submarine exercises, apparently aimed at supporting the US in Taiwan in the event of a possible Chinese invasion, according to social media posts by the eastern leadership of China’s ruling Communist Party’s military arm, the People’s Liberation Army. The military said the drills, which include missile strikes, warplanes and ship movements crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait that separates the sides, were a response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-ruled island last week ....
