Chinese military forces are holding exercises near Taiwan in response to a visit by a US congressional delegation to the island.
The drills in the area of the Taiwan Strait are a "necessary measure to safeguard national sovereignty," China's Defence Ministry said in an announcement on Tuesday that gave no details on the timing, participants and location of the exercises.
It said the "joint war preparedness patrol" by the Eastern Theatre Command was prompted by the "seriously incorrect words and actions of relevant countries over the issue of Taiwan" and the actions of those advocating the self-governing island's independence.
