China's recent large-scale military activities around Taiwan are seen as a power projection, signalling that Beijing can act at will. On December 13, China's defence ministry responded to questions about the drills, stating it was up to China to decide on military actions and reaffirming its opposition to separatism. Unlike previous war games, China has kept its activities low-profile, only offering explanations through the Taiwan Affairs Office, which described them as "necessary measures" for defending sovereignty. Taiwanese officials warn that China’s actions aim to challenge regional stability, especially along the "First Island Chain," while asserting its claim over Taiwan. Meanwhile, China asserted its right to hold military drills, while Taiwan activated emergency responses to increased activity. Beijing's territorial claim over Taiwan is rejected, with Taipei insisting its future lies with its people.
