is a military drill from china to taiwan launched from 9 dec to 11 dec?

ChatGPT:

Yes, China conducted extensive military exercises near Taiwan from December 9 to 11, 2024. These drills involved a significant deployment of naval and air forces, including approximately 100 ships from various People's Liberation Army (PLA) commands and the coastguard. The maneuvers extended into the western Pacific, indicating a broader scope compared to previous exercises.

Financial Times

The exercises were perceived as a response to Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's recent foreign visits, including stops in Hawaii and Guam. China's actions were interpreted as an effort to intimidate Taiwan and demonstrate its military capabilities in the region. Taiwan's Defense Ministry reported the detection of a substantial Chinese military presence near the island during this period, including naval ships and military aircraft.

but reuter does not say it is a military drill

ChatGPT:

You're correct; Reuters reported that China conducted large-scale military activities near Taiwan from December 9 to 11, 2024, but did not explicitly label them as "military drills." Taiwan's defense ministry noted that China deployed approximately 90 naval and coast guard ships across a broad area, including waters near Taiwan, the southern Japanese islands, and the East and South China Seas. This deployment was interpreted by Taiwan as a significant military maneuver, possibly in reaction to President Lai Ching-te's recent Pacific tour. However, China did not officially announce these operations as military exercises, nor did it specify any weapon tests or designated military zones. This approach aligns with a recent tactic where China conducts large-scale military activities with little to no public acknowledgment, aiming to normalize its heightened military presence in the region.
