Overseas media reported today (June 2nd): "Officials from Taiwan's security department said that in May, an unusually large fleet of aircraft was deployed by the Chinese mainland in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea, showing that it is exerting maximum pressure on the first island chain."

[Clever] A few comments: In the past, the existence of the first island chain was once considered a tool to constrain and exert pressure on China. However, times have changed, and now China's naval strength has long surpassed what it used to be. Breaking through the first island chain is no longer a problem. Besides, this is just a routine training exercise, and there is no need to over-interpret it.​
