flag China conducts military drills near Taiwan, warning against independence and foreign interference.

flag China has launched military exercises named "Justice Mission 2025" around Taiwan, warning against "Taiwan independence" and foreign interference. flag Taiwan, governed separately since 1949 after the Chinese Civil War, operates with its own government, military, and institutions, maintaining de facto independence. flag While only 12 countries recognize it formally, major powers like the U.S. uphold unofficial ties and are legally bound to provide defensive arms. flag China claims Taiwan as part of its territory under UN Resolution 2758 and the 2005 Anti-Secession Law, which allows for military action if reunification fails. flag Taiwan’s president, Lai Ching-te, has stated Taiwan and China are not subordinate to each other, a position Beijing views as separatist. flag A formal declaration of independence would require constitutional changes and a referendum, which remain politically unlikely. flag Public opinion in Taiwan largely favors preserving the current status quo.
