On the 19th of October, US and Japan kicked off major wargames near Taiwan called Keen Sword 27. The drills include thousands of troops, fighter jets like F-22 and F-2, warships and tanks. In addition to these, Japan has deployed the Type 25 anti-ship missile, while the US Marine Corps has deployed the NMESIS missile to Okinawa. In response to the US-Japan drills, China deployed its Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group near Okinawa. Beijing also claimed full control of the Island of Taiwan. Meanwhile, Taiwan has inducted the first two F-16 Block 70 fighter jets and Taiwanese President Lai Ching-Te says he will continue to increase defence spending to prevent a future war with China. Why are the US and Japan carrying our massive wargames near the Taiwan Strait, and how is Beijing reading these drills? Watch the Full Report on From The Frontline by Firstpost.
