Taipei/New Delhi, Aug 30 (TIWN) China on Friday threatened to conduct a "military mission" anytime from now till September 4 in the north of the Taiwan strait, provoking Taipei to warn Beijing against any attempt to annex the democratic island nation.
Global Times, the mouthpiece of the Xi Jinping government, said that China's Maritime Safety Administration had announced that it was going to conduct a "military mission from Friday to September 4 in the Bohai strait and northern Yellow Sea". The Global Times also claimed that China had "expelled" and destroyed the US spy plane U-2, which flew in the Chinese-designated "no-fly zone" on Tuesday when China was conducting a live-fire naval drill in the Bohai Sea off its north coast.
