China said it would carry out live-fire drills in the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, two days after US and Canadian warships sailed through the contentious waterway following Beijing’s massive military exercise a week ago.
The live-fire drills are to take place in a limited area in the waters near Niushan Island from 9am to 1pm local time, the official Fujian Daily reported, citing a notice from the Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) on Pingtan, an island off the coast of Fujian province in southeastern China.
