China imeanza mazoezi makubwa ya kijeshi ya baharini na angani kuzunguka kisiwa kinachojitawala cha Taiwan, saa chache baada ya Spika wa Bunge la Marekani Nancy Pelosi kuondoka Taipei.
Vyombo vya habari vya serikali viliripoti mazoezi ya kuzima moto katika maeneo sita karibu na Taiwan yalianza saa sita mchana kwa saa za huko (04:00 GMT) na yataendelea hadi wakati huo huo tarehe 7 Agosti.
China ilianza maneva ya kijeshi Jumanne usiku kufuatia kuwasili kwa Pelosi na baadaye kutangaza safu ya hatua za kulipiza kisasi za kiuchumi kujibu ziara ya Pelosi, shughuli za kijeshi ziliendelea Jumatano, huku Taiwan ikisema mazoezi hayo yalikiuka sheria za Umoja wa Mataifa, yalivamia eneo lake na kufikia kizuizi. ya anga na bahari yake.
Wizara ya Ulinzi ya Taifa ilitaja shughuli za kijeshi za China kuwa "zisizo na akili" na "nia ya kubadilisha hali iliyopo na kudhoofisha amani na utulivu wa kikanda".
Beijing inadai Taiwan ni yake na haijakataza matumizi ya nguvu kuchukua udhibiti wa kisiwa hicho. Marekani, ingawa ina uhusiano rasmi wa kidiplomasia na China, inafuata sera ya "utata wa kimkakati" juu ya Taiwan na inawajibika kwa sheria kutoa kisiwa kwa njia ya kujilinda.
Siku ya Alhamisi, gazeti la serikali la Global Times lilielezea mazoezi hayo kama mazoezi ya "operesheni za kuungana tena". "Ikitokea mzozo wa kijeshi wa siku zijazo, kuna uwezekano kwamba mipango ya operesheni inayokaririwa sasa itatafsiriwa moja kwa moja katika mapigano. operesheni,” ilimnukuu mtaalam wa kijeshi wa China Bara Song Zhongping akisema.
Iliripoti kuwa jeshi lilipanga kurusha mizinga ya masafa marefu kwenye Mlango wa Taiwan.
"Ikiwa makombora ya kawaida ya PLA yangerushwa kutoka bara kuelekea magharibi mwa Taiwan na kugonga shabaha kuelekea mashariki yake, hii inamaanisha kuwa makombora hayo yangeruka juu ya kisiwa hicho, jambo ambalo halijawahi kutokea," gazeti hilo lilinukuu jeshi lingine la China. mtaalam Zhang Xuefeng akisema.Baadhi ya maeneo sita ambapo Beijing imedokeza kuwa mazoezi hayo yanafanyika yapo ndani ya eneo la maji ya Taiwan.
Kisiwa hicho tayari kimeonya makampuni ya meli na mashirika ya ndege kuepuka maeneo hayo.Wizara ya ulinzi ilisema kuwa wanajeshi wa kisiwa hicho wamesalia katika hali ya tahadhari na walikuwa wakifuatilia kwa karibu shughuli za PLA.
Taiwan "itazingatia kanuni ya kujiandaa kwa vita bila kutafuta vita, na kwa mtazamo wa 'kutozidisha migogoro na kutosababisha migogoro'," wizara hiyo ilisema katika taarifa yake.
Hapo awali ilifichua kuwa ndege zisizo na rubani za China ziliruka juu ya Visiwa vya Kinmen, eneo la Taiwan karibu na pwani ya kusini-mashariki mwa Uchina, na ilikuwa imefyatua moto kuwafukuza. ndege zisizo na rubani zilikuja kwa jozi na kuruka hadi eneo la Kinmen mara mbili Jumatano usiku, karibu 9pm (13:00 GMT) na 10pm (14:00 GMT).
"Tulifyatua moto mara moja ili kutoa maonyo na kuwafukuza. Baada ya hapo, waligeuka. Walikuja katika eneo letu lililowekewa vikwazo na ndiyo maana tukawatawanya,” alisema. Kundi la mataifa saba yaliyoendelea limeelezea wasiwasi wake kutokana na jibu la China kwa ziara ya Pelosi, likitoa wito wa utulivu na kusema hatua za Jamhuri ya Watu wa China (PRC) zilihatarisha. upandaji usio wa lazima.
"Hakuna uhalali wa kutumia ziara kama kisingizio cha shughuli za kijeshi za fujo katika Mlango-Bahari wa Taiwan," taarifa kutoka kwa mawaziri wa mambo ya nje wa G7 ilisema. “Ni jambo la kawaida na la kawaida kwa wabunge kutoka nchi zetu kusafiri kimataifa. Mwitikio unaokua wa PRC unahatarisha kuongezeka kwa mvutano na kuyumbisha eneo.
Mawaziri wa mambo ya nje kutoka Jumuiya ya Mataifa ya Kusini-Mashariki mwa Asia (ASEAN), ambao wanakutana Phnom Penh, pia walionyesha wasiwasi wao kwamba mvutano unaoongezeka karibu na Taiwan unaweza kusababisha "mahesabu mabaya" na kutoa wito wa "kuzuia kiwango cha juu".
Ziara ya Pelosi ilikuwa ya kwanza kufanywa na spika wa baraza hilo, mwanasiasa wa tatu wa juu zaidi nchini Merika, katika miaka 25. Beijing ilikuwa imetishia "matokeo makubwa" ikiwa angeendelea na ziara hiyo.
Mgogoro mkubwa wa mwisho katika Mlango-Bahari wa Taiwan ulifanyika mwaka 1996, katika maandalizi ya kuchaguliwa tena kwa Rais Lee Teng-hui, ambaye alitembelea Marekani mwaka uliopita.
China imeboresha na kupanua vikosi vyake vya kijeshi tangu wakati huo, ikizindua chombo chake cha kwanza cha kubeba ndege na kujaribu silaha za hypersonic.

China has begun large-scale military sea and air exercises around the self-ruled island of Taiwan, hours after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s departure from Taipei.
State media reported the live-fire drills in six areas around Taiwan got underway at noon local time (04:00 GMT) and will continue until the same time on August 7.
China began military manoeuvres on Tuesday night following Pelosi’s arrival and later announced a raft of retaliatory economic measures in response to Pelosi’s visit, Military activity continued on Wednesday, with Taiwan saying the drills violated United Nations rules, invaded its territorial space and amounted to a blockade of its air and sea.
On Thursday, the Ministry of National Defense described China’s military activities as “irrational” and with the “intention of changing the status quo and undermining regional peace and stability”.
Beijing claims Taiwan as its own and has not ruled out the use of force to take control of the island.The United States, while having formal diplomatic relations with China, follows a policy of “strategic ambiguity” on Taiwan and is bound by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself.
On Thursday, the state-run Global Times described the drills as a rehearsal for “reunification operation(s)”.“In the event of a future military conflict, it is likely that the operational plans currently being rehearsed will be directly translated into combat operations,” it quoted Chinese mainland military expert Song Zhongping as saying.
It reported the military planned to launch live long-range artillery across the Taiwan Strait.
“If the conventional missiles of the PLA were to be launched from the mainland toward the west of Taiwan and hit targets to its east, this means that the missiles would fly over the island, which is unprecedented,” the paper quoted another Chinese mainland military expert Zhang Xuefeng as saying.Some of the six areas where Beijing has indicated the exercises are being held fall within Taiwan’s territorial waters.
The island has already warned shipping firms and airlines to avoid the locations.The defense ministry said the island’s armed forces remained in a state of alert and were closely monitoring the PLA’s activities.
Taiwan will “uphold the principle of preparing for war without seeking war, and with an attitude of ‘not escalating conflict and not causing disputes’,” the ministry said in its statement.
Earlier it revealed suspected Chinese drones had flown above the Kinmen Islands, Taiwanese territory off China’s southeastern coast, and it had fired flares to drive them away.Major General Chang Zone-sung of the military’s Kinmen Defense Command told the Reuters news agency that the Chinese drones came in a pair and flew into the Kinmen area twice on Wednesday night, at about 9pm (13:00 GMT) and 10pm (14:00 GMT).
“We immediately fired flares to issue warnings and to drive them away. After that, they turned around. They came into our restricted area and that’s why we dispersed them,” he said.The Group of Seven developed nations has expressed concern at China’s response to Pelosi’s visit, calling for calm and saying the moves by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) risked unnecessary escalation.
“There is no justification to use a visit as a pretext for aggressive military activity in the Taiwan Strait,” a statement from the G7’s foreign ministers’ said. “It is normal and routine for legislators from our countries to travel internationally. The PRC’s escalatory response risks increasing tensions and destabilizing the region.”
Foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), who are meeting in Phnom Penh, also expressed their concern that the rising tension around Taiwan could lead to “miscalculation” and called for “maximum restraint”.
Pelosi’s visit was the first by a sitting speaker of the house, the third most senior politician in the US, in 25 years. Beijing had threatened “serious consequences” if she went ahead with the visit.
The last big crisis in the Taiwan Strait took place in 1996, in the run-up to the re-election of President Lee Teng-hui, who had visited the US the previous year.
China has modernized and expanded its armed forces since then, launching its first aircraft carrier and testing hypersonic weaponry.
