According to news reports, China is planning a military rehearsal of an “invasion” of Taiwan: “The 18,000-man mock landing on the beaches of Dongshan Island is to involve amphibious assault craft, Russian-built fighter jets and submarines operating in the Taiwan Strait to ward off a simulated counter-attack by the US Seventh Fleet,” the Australian reports.
Meanwhile, Taiwan is expected to top the agenda of U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice’s visit to China this week. See full report here.
