william ly tied pay, has condemned the drills saying it's able to insure its own national security. china claims itself gover in taiwan as part of its territory and says it has no right to conduct foreign relations. i asked our corresponded james, traitor in taipei to update us on developments in the taiwan strait. oh, let's run through some of the specific faster roles the festival, these, the joints, naval and at combat readiness control spearheaded by china is eastern. if it's a come on, that's a part of the chinese ministry that is responsible for the pot of china, which is close to us to tie one just over the taiwan straits. according to that, come on the aim of these drills as a test. the miniatures ability to seize and see spaces and it's high. one time, one of the defense ministry says these chinese drills are taking place around the north and southwest all the time. one's main lines. i think there's 14 through i

crossed in 8 ships, 26 of those are across today across the median line of the taiwan strait. that's a buffer line in the water that separates tie one from china and has kind of been respected by tie one and china for decades is a line that's the 4th is done across tie. one says, is despite ships on the cross to respond to these trails. now course china says this is a serious wanting to what they call, set protest forces. and the in that what's troublemaker, which is time, once twice president william ly, which belongs to the ruling policy here in taiwan. and as you will know, china is use military ex, exercises before, to send a clear message about this offering to the dispute. like in response to then us a house speaker, nancy pelosi visiting taiwan last year. how does this compare as well, the similarities all that it's on the same thing by the same part of the chinese
