China tells US its containment strategy is bound to fail

China has warned that United States efforts to contain its rise are doomed to fail, even as Beijing says it is willing to work with Washington to improve relations.

According to the Chinese military, the drills involve the army, navy, air force and rocket force, and include live-fire exercises. The operation, code-named Justice Mission 2025, comes just days after the United States approved one of its largest-ever arms sales to Taiwan, valued at about $11bn. Beijing strongly condemned the deal and responded by sanctioning several US defence companies. China’s leadership has also criticised Taiwan’s efforts to strengthen its defence capabilities this year. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory, despite the island being self-ruled for decades. Taiwan’s presidential office denounced the drills, saying they undermine regional stability and international norms. The defence ministry reported detecting Chinese aircraft and naval […]
