China is training around Taiwan during a visit by U.S. lawmakers
Taipei / Beijing (Reuters)-China said it conducted military training around Taiwan on Friday when a delegation of the US Parliament visited the island for a show of support for fellow democracy. The People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command said in a statement released during a press conference in Taipei that Chinese troops had sent frigates, bombers and fighters to the East China Sea and the area around Taiwan. “This operation corresponds to the recent frequent false signal announcements by the United States on the Taiwan issue,” he said, without mentioning the visiting US delegation.
