“China has chosen to overreact and use the speaker’s visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait,” Kirby told reporters. Kirby called China’s actions part of a “manufactured crisis” but also said that Beijing was attempting to alter the regional power balance. “It’s also a pretext to try to up the ante… Beijing has not ruled out the possible use of force to reunify the self-ruled island with the mainland. It routinely protests any foreign dignitaries’ visits to Taiwan, insisting that all countries follow the One-China Policy. READ MORE “China has chosen to overreact and use the speaker’s visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait,” White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

Pelosi left Taiwan on Wednesday, defying Beijing’s threats against the US visit, as Beijing considers the self-ruled island to be its territory. But does one need to be worried over military conflict? But White House spokesman John Kirby said a US aircraft carrier task force, sailing east of Taiwan, would remain in the region to monitor the situation after China conducted military live-fire exercises. The Chinese made their strikes ,probably using our visit as an excuse.

As China conducts its military exercise near Taiwan by firing live missiles, multiple flights have been cancelled or diverted, which connect Northeast Asia ...

Japan`s ANA Holdings Inc and Japan Airlines Co Ltd are still operating flights to Taipei as normal, spokespeople for the airlines said, but are avoiding the affected airspace on those flights, as well as on routes to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Korean Air Lines Co Ltd and Singapore Airlines Ltd said they had cancelled flights to and from Taipei on Friday due to the exercises, with the Korean carrier also cancelling its Saturday flights and delaying Sunday flights. Various airlines have cancelled or diverted their flights, which were scheduled to fly to Taipei in Taiwan. This move from airlines comes as to avoid the airspace around Taipei and Chinese military exercises that came into effect after Nancy Pelosi, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker's visit to Taiwan. Also, China has deployed multiple planes around Taiwan Strait and has fired live missiles near Taiwan, as a part of its biggest-ever drills in the Taiwan Strait. Although the affected airspace is relatively small, the disruption due to the military exercise is hamperings air travel routes between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia.

is largely a matter of how much political and economic risk the Chinese Communist Party's leaders are willing to incur." "It's not in Beijing's interest to interrupt civilian travel and trade in the region," said Natasha Kassam of the Lowy Institute, an Australian think tank. The drills -- China's largest-ever around Taiwan -- are a major show of strength after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi infuriated Beijing by visiting the island. "The shutting down of these transport routes -- even temporarily -- has consequences not only for Taiwan, but also trade flows tied to Japan and South Korea." The drills -- China's largest-ever around Taiwan -- are a major show of strength after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi infuriated Beijing by visiting the island. Nearly half the world's container ships passed through the narrow Taiwan Strait -- which separates the island from the Chinese mainland -- in the first seven months of this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Japan and the US would "work together to maintain stability in the Taiwan Strait," he added. Authorities did not trigger air raid alerts because they predicted the missiles would land in waters east of Taiwan, the ministry said. On Tuesday, the Chinese Defense Ministry said it would hold its exercises in six zones around Taiwan, warning ships and aircraft to stay out of the areas during the drills. On Friday, a spokesperson from Taiwan's Foreign Ministry said the government's English website and the ministry website had both detected a large number of attacks on Tuesday -- the day Pelosi landed in Taiwan. The IP addresses behind the attacks came from China and Russia, among other locations, with the intention of paralyzing the government sites, said the spokesperson. On Friday, Kishida said the Chinese military drills were "a serious issue concerning the security of our country and its people" and called for an immediate halt to the exercises. On Friday, Taiwan's Premier Su Tseng-chang said the island represented "freedom and democracy," and that "the evil neighbor next door flexed its muscles on our doorstep and arbitrarily sabotaged (one of) the busiest waterways in the world with military exercises."

Fumio Kishida welcomes Nancy Pelosi in Tokyo and urges Beijing to halt planned four days of military exercises sparked by US House speaker's visit.

Taiwan has blasted the drills as tantamount to an air and sea “blockade” and a violation of international law. But Tokyo is most concerned about China’s military drills, which are being held in locations close to Japan’s outlying southern islands. Pelosi said China must not be allowed to isolate Taiwan by preventing US officials from travelling to the island. South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk-yeol, did not meet Pelosi on Thursday, drawing accusations he was seeking to placate China. Yoon was on holiday, reportedly in Seoul, but held a phone call with the US House speaker instead.

The median line is an unofficial but once largely adhered-to border that runs down the middle of the Taiwan Strait, which separates Taiwan and China. "This Chinese military exercise, whether it be the launch of ballistic missiles or the deliberate crossing of the median line of the strait, is a highly provocative act."

China Holds Military Drills, Ballistic Missiles Fired: China says it has begun exercises involving warplanes, navy ships and missile strikes in six zones ...

It remains unclear whether China will seek to keep tensions at a high pitch even after the end of the current round of exercises. Numerous US naval and other military assets are currently deployed in areas close to Taiwan, including the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and its battle group. China has increasingly forcefully declared that Taiwan must be brought under its control by force if necessary and in defiance of Washington and other backers of the island’s democracy. That sentiment has been further reinforced by Beijing’s ruthless crackdown on political rights and free speech in Hong Kong, which China has long touted as a model for its future governance of Taiwan. Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills. China says it has begun exercises involving warplanes, navy ships and missile strikes in six zones surrounding Taiwan. Those lie as little as 20 kilometres (12 miles) off the island’s coast, potentially infringing on Taiwan’s territorial waters.

Rest of World News: TAIPEI: As China embarks on its largest-ever military exercises around Taiwan following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei, ...

Over the next few years trade links between the two sides improve. A furious China vows "punishment" and launches its largest-ever military exercises in the area, encircling Taiwan on August 4. In June, China suspends all communications with Taiwan after the new government fails to acknowledge the "One China" policy. In 1950, Taiwan becomes an ally of the United States, which is at war with communist China in Korea. The US deploys a fleet in the Taiwan Strait to protect its ally from possible attack. In 2000 elections, the KMT loses power in Taiwan for the first time. The KMT flee to the island of Taiwan and form their own government in Taipei in December, cutting off contacts with mainland China.

कोरोना महामारी (Covid-19) के कारण वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था पहले से ही प्रभावित थी.

चीन की बात करें तो उसकी अर्थव्यवस्था एक्सपोर्ट पर बेस्ड है. चीन सबसे ज्यादा एक्सपोर्ट अमेरिका को ही करता है. ट्रेडिंग इकोनॉमिक्स के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, इस साल जून में चीन ने अमेरिका को 55.97 मिलियन डॉलर का एक्सपोर्ट किया था. चीन के एक्सपोर्ट डेस्टिनेशंस में अमेरिका के बाद दूसरे स्थान पर हांगकांग है. इसी तरह जापान तीसरे, वियतनाम चौथे, भारत पांचवें, जर्मनी छठे, नीदरलैंड सातवें, मलेशिया आठवें, ताइवान नौवें और थाइलैंड 10वें स्थान पर है. अगर युद्ध की स्थिति आती है तो टॉप10 में से ज्यादातर देशों को चीन का निर्यात ठप हो जाएगा. कोरोना महामारी की मार से अब तक नहीं उबर पाई चीन की अर्थव्यवस्था के लिए यह बेहद त्रासद साबित होगा. वहीं ताइवान का व्यापार बाधित होने से दुनिया भर की टेक, स्मार्टफोन व ऑटो कंपनियां को प्रोडक्शन रोकना पड़ सकता है. चीन की इस हरकत पर अमेरिका व अन्य पश्चिमी देशों ने कड़ी आपत्ति व्यक्त की है. सात विकसित देशों के समूह G7 के विदेश मंत्रियों ने एक साझा बयान जारी कर चीन के कदम की निंदा की है. वहीं आसियान देशों के विदेश मंत्रियों ने भी चीन के युद्धाभ्यास पर चिंता व्यक्त की है. चीन ने अमेरिका के खिलाफ आर्थिक मोर्चे पर भी कठोर कदम उठाने की चेतावनी दी है. इन सब घटनाक्रमों से इस बात का अंदेशा हो रहा है कि कहीं फिर से ट्रंप के दौर वाला ट्रेड वार लौट न जाए. ट्रंप के कार्यकाल के दौरान चीन और अमेरिका के बीच चले ट्रेड वार से दुनिया की दोनों बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्थाओं को नुकसान उठाना पड़ा था. उस दौरान चीन के ऊपर लगी कई पाबंदियां अभी तक हटी भी नहीं हैं और उससे पहले ही नया संकट सामने आ गया है. चीन के सरकारी टेलीविजन की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, अभी चीन की सेना ताइवान के इर्द-गिर्द समुद्र में युद्धाभ्यास कर रही है. इस युद्धाभ्यास के तहत पानी और हवा में गोलीबारी भी शामिल है. ताइवान के बेहद करीब 6 लोकेशंस पर एक साथ हो रहा यह युद्धाभ्यास रविवार तक चलने वाला है. इस युद्धाभ्यास के कारण एक तरह से ताइवान के समुद्री रास्ते चारों तरफ से बंद हो गए हैं. उत्तर, पूर्व और दक्षिण में तो युद्धाभ्यास के लोकेशंस ताइवान से 12 नॉटिकल मील के दायरे में हैं. ताइवान चीन की इस हरकत को इंटरनेशनल ऑर्डर का उल्लंघन बता रहा है. रॉयटर्स की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ताइवान ने मिलिट्री के सीक्रेट लोकेशंस पर चीन के ड्रोन के उड़ान भरने का दावा किया है. अभी पूरी दुनिया की निगाहें एशिया (Asia) की ओर लगी हुई हैं. अमेरिकी स्पीकर नैन्सी पेलोसी (US Speaker Nancy Pelosi) की हालिया ताइवान यात्रा (Nancy Pelosi Taiwan Visit) के बाद एशिया में युद्ध छिड़ने का खतरा मंडरा रहा है. पेलोसी की यात्रा संपन्न होते ही चीन (China) ने ताइवान (Taiwan) के चारों ओर अब तक के सबसे बड़े युद्धाभ्यास (China Military Drill Around Taiwan) की शुरुआत की है. इसे सीधे तौर पर ताइवान और अमेरिका (US) को चुनौती देना समझा जा रहा है. वहीं ताइवान ने चीन के इस कदम की आलोचना करते हुए कहा है कि वह युद्ध की स्थिति के लिए भी पूरी तरह से तैयार है. अगर वास्तव में ताइवान की खाड़ी (Taiwan Straight) में युद्ध छिड़ता है तो वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था (Global Economy) को इसकी भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ सकती है और दुनिया की दूसरी सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था (Chinese Economy) चीन को काफी नुकसान उठाना पड़ सकता है. इसके साथ ही कच्चे तेल के भाव (Crude Oil Prices) आसमान पर पहुंच गए, जिसका खामियाजा विकासशील देशों (Developing Countries) को भुगतना पड़ा. अब अगर चीन और ताइवान के बीच युद्ध (China Taiwan War) की शुरुआत होती है तो ग्लोबल इकोनॉमी को सप्लाई चेन के बिखरने की स्थिति का सामना करना होगा. चीन को दुनिया की फैक्ट्री कहा जाता है, जबकि कई अहम इंडस्ट्रीज की रीढ़ माने जाने वाले सेमीकंडक्टर के लिए ताइवान हब है. कोरोना महामारी (Covid-19) के कारण वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था पहले से ही प्रभावित थी. अभी कोरोना महामारी के चलते उत्पन्न व्यवधान दूर हो ही रहे थे कि पूर्वी यूरोप (East Europe) में जंग की शुरुआत हो गई. फरवरी महीने में यूक्रेन के ऊपर रूस के हमला करते ही वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था के समक्ष नई चुनौती उत्पन्न हो गई. यूक्रेन-रूस युद्ध (Russia-Ukraine War) के कारण ग्लोबल सप्लाई चेन (Global Supply Chain) पर बुरा असर हुआ, खासकर अनाजों के वैश्विक बाजार में हालात बेकाबू हो गए. कई देशों में खाने-पीने की चीजों की कमी (Food Shortage) हो गई.

One in eight people who have had Covid-19 have problems such as breathlessness and general tiredness 90 to 150 days after their coronavirus infection, a new study set to be published in the The Lancet journal early on Friday said, providing what may be the most reliable estimates of Long Covid prevalence yet. Someone fired shots Thursday at the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis, sending shoppers running for cover, but police said they did not immediately find a victim. In an unexpected twist, Twitter was able to file its response to Musk before Musk's own counterclaims have been made public. A judge ruled on Wednesday that Musk's counterclaim will be made public by Friday. "In the face of this blatant provocation, we have to take legitimate and necessary countermeasures to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity," foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a regular briefing Thursday. The drills began around 12 noon local time (0400 GMT), and involved a "conventional missile firepower assault" in waters to the east of Taiwan, the Chinese military said.

The United States urged China not to overeact to US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan after Beijing deployed planes and fired live missiles near Taiwan, some of which Japan said appeared to land in its economic zone. This was swiftly followed by economic sanctions on Taiwanese agricultural goods and imports of Chinese sand. Ministers from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Phnom Penh warned against "provocative action". We continue to urge the Chinese not to overreact here. The Chinese launched their strikes, probably using our visit as an excuse. Our president has his communication with Chinese president.
