The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Monday organized its troops of army, navy, air force and rocket force to conduct "Joint Sword-2024B" drills in the Taiwan Strait and to the north, south and east of the island of Taiwan, said a spokesperson.
舰机多向抵近台岛，诸军兵种联合突击，重点演练海空战备警巡、要港要域封控、对海对陆打击、夺取综合制权等科目，检验战区部队联合作战实战能力。
Li Xi, spokesperson for the theater command, said the drills involve vessels and planes closing in on the island from multiple directions and assaults by joint forces.
The drills focus on joint sea-air combat readiness patrol, the blockade and control of key ports and areas, strikes on sea and land targets, and the seizure of comprehensive battlefield control, so as to test the joint real-combat capabilities of the forces of the command, Li said.
这是对“台独”分裂势力谋“独”行径的强力震慑，是捍卫国家主权、维护国家统一的正当必要行动。
The drills are a powerful deterrent to the separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" elements, and are legitimate and necessary actions to safeguard national sovereignty and national unity, Li said.
