China sets up live-fire exercise zone near Taiwan ‘without warning’
China has set up a live-fire exercise area 40 nautical miles (75 kilometers) off the coast of the Taiwan port city of Kaohsiung without warning in a provocation to the region’s security that posed a risk to air and sea transport, Taiwan’s ministry of defense said Wednesday. It said Beijing “blatantly violated international norms by unilaterally designating” the drill zone.
