Pingtan, China — China said it had 'successfully completed' three days of war games around Taiwan on Monday, capping a show of force that saw it simulate targeted strikes and practise a blockade of the self-ruled island. Beijing's exercises were a response to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week, an encounter it had warned would provoke strong countermeasures. After three days of exercises, the Chinese military said it had 'successfully completed' tasks related to its 'Joint Sword' drills.
