China says military exercises near Taiwan are a move to protect peace and stability and this is absolutely just action.

China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang, speaking at a regular news briefing in Beijing today, said the cause of current tensions is Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party's collusion with foreign force and provocations.

He said Chinese drills are aimed at protecting the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
