China Says Philippine Sea Drills Were 'Stern Warning' Against US Support for 'Taiwan Independence'

"The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has conducted a series of maritime and aerial
drills in the seas surrounding Taiwan in recent weeks, including deployment of its largest-ever carrier battle group and a joint bomber patrol with the Russian Air Force.

Beijing has warned that the drills were intended as a “stern warning against the recent collusion activities between the US and the ‘Taiwan independence’ secessionist forces." Sputnik
