Mainland China launched unprecedented military drills near Taiwan the day after US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the self-ruled island. The largest exercises ever staged by the People’s Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait, began on schedule at midday on August 4, 2022, and included live-firing in waters to the north, south and east of Taiwan. The island’s defence ministry reported that 11 Dongfeng ballistic missiles were fired by mainland forces in waters around the island. The last time the PLA fired missiles into waters around Taiwan was in 1996.
