Taiwan's military on Tuesday (Dec 30) scrambled several fighter jets and released various images of what it said were Chinese planes and ships near the island as China staged a second day of large-scale military drills around Taiwan. Named "Justice Mission 2025," the drills began 11 days after the US announced a record US$11.1 billion arms package to Taiwan and are China's largest exercises to date by total coverage and proximity to the island. https://cna.asia/49yLWaI | CNA
