China has announced the end of the operation - defined as "punitive" - that began on Thursday around the island of Taiwan to demonstrate its opposition to what it considers the "separatist" declarations of the new Taiwanese president Lai Ching-te.
The Chinese army "successfully completed" the exercise, called "Joint Sword 2024-A" against Taiwan, state TV CCTV-7 announced last night.
For days the island claimed by Beijing was surrounded by ships and fighters flew close to Taipei's airspace.
An action that Taiwan, a strategic ally of the United States, defined as a "blatant provocation to the world order".
