China launched large-scale naval and air exercises encircling Taiwan-called &#8220;Justice Mission 2025&#8221;-including live-fire drills, simulated blockade and control maneuvers, and rehearsals of missile strikes on key ports, wich Beijing framed as a stern warning against outside interference and Taiwanese separatism.
