‘They give you extreme pressure, pressure, pressure. They’re trying to exhaust you. The PLA is trying to force Taiwan to make mistakes’
The Chinese military conducted blockade drills around Taiwan on Monday, raising alarm from the island nation after its President Lai Ching-te stated last week that Taiwan will resist any attack from Beijing.
According to the Associated Press, China deployed 125 aircraft along with its Liaoning aircraft carrier and ships, sealing off ports around Taiwan.

The Chinese Ministry of Defense said in a statement the military drills were intended to increase pressure on “Taiwan independence” in response to Lai’s speech during Taiwan’s National Day celebrations held last week.
Wu criticized Lai – who has been labeled a “separatist” by the Chinese Communist Party – saying he is “forgetting their roots and deliberately severing historical ties across the Taiwan Strait,” adding Lai is inciting confrontation, hostility, and confusion.
