China's People’s Liberation Army said on Wednesday that it “successfully completed” two days of military exercises in the waters off Taiwan, concluding a set of high-powered manoeuvers aimed at asserting its sovereignty over the island - actions that ratcheted up tension in East Asia during 2025's waning days.

In a New Year's Eve announcement, the PLA said that the operation it called “Justice Mission 2025” had “fully tested the integrated joint operations capabilities of its troops.”
“Always on high alert, the troops of the Theater Command will keep strengthening combat readiness with arduous training, resolutely thwart the attempts of ‘Taiwan Independence’ separatists and external intervention, and firmly safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Senior Captain Li Xi, spokesperson for the PLA’s Eastern Theater Command, was quoted as saying.
