Justice Mission 2025: Day 2 of PLA Taiwan Drills
According to the PLA Eastern Theatre Command, troops are conducting simulations of strikes on maritime targets. These drills, part of Justice Mission 2025, also involve anti-air and anti-submarine operations to the north and south of Taiwan. The objective is clear: testing the ability to isolate the island from external support.
The command stated on Monday that the drills serve as a stern warning to "independence forces" and are a direct response to external interference. They're taking place amid heightened cross-strait tensions that have been building for months, marking this as one of the most significant military displays of the year.
Strategic Encirclement and Global Impact
The scale of Justice Mission 2025 isn't just about numbers; it's about complexity. By integrating anti-submarine and anti-air drills, the PLA is demonstrating a sophisticated multi-domain blockade capability. Global markets and security analysts are watching closely, as any miscalculation in these waters could have ripples across the global economy.
