China's Naval Operations Raise Concerns in Taiwan and Japan
Taiwan and Japan are worried about China's military activities in the region.
China has sent a lot of ships to different seas around Asia, which is more than they usually do.
Taiwan's president has told their military to be extra careful and work with other countries to keep the area safe.
Japan is also watching China's movements closely.
This is happening because China and Japan had a disagreement, and Taiwan announced it will spend more money on its defence.
China sees Taiwan as part of its territory, but Taiwan disagrees.
Both Taiwan and Japan are concerned about the situation.
China deployed warships for military operations stretching from the Yellow Sea to the Western Pacific, posing a threat to the region.
Taiwan's defence ministry and other security agencies are monitoring China's activities and have a complete grasp of the situation.
Taiwan urged China to exercise restraint and expressed confidence in handling the matter.
China's defence ministry stated that the navy's training on the high seas complies with international law and is not directed at any specific country.
Taiwan's intelligence chief warned that China's annual evaluation exercises, which peak from October to December, could be turned into drills targeting Taiwan.
