The People's Liberation Army began to carry out an inter-service exercise surrounding Taiwan Island on Monday, according to a military spokesman.

据一名军方发言人介绍，人民解放军于周一开始在台湾岛周边开展多军兵种联合演习。

Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesman for the PLA Eastern Theater Command, said on Monday morning that his command has launched the "Justice Mission 2025" exercise, which involves its ground, air, naval, missile, and other forces.
解放军东部战区新闻发言人施毅大校周一上午表示，战区已启动代号为“正义使命—2025”的演习，参演力量包括陆军、空军、海军、火箭军等多种兵力。

"The operation includes air and sea patrols, suppression of hostile forces, blockade of critical ports and zones, and battlefield periphery deterrence, and is intended to test our forces' joint combat capabilities," he said.
他说，此次行动涵盖空中与海上巡逻、压制敌对力量、封锁关键港口和区域以及战场周边慑控，旨在检验部队的联合作战能力。

Aircraft and warships will conduct exercises near the Taiwan Island from multiple directions while units from different PLA branches will simulate joint strikes, the spokesman noted, adding that these moves will examine the troops' capabilities in rapid, all-dimensional deployment and omnidirectional blockade and control.
发言人指出，解放军航空兵和海军舰艇将从多个方向在台湾岛附近开展演练，不同军兵种部队将模拟实施联合打击，这些行动将检验部队快速、全维度部署以及全方位封锁与控制能力。

Shi stressed that this is a stern warning against "Taiwan independence" separatists and external forces attempting to interfere in the Taiwan question and is a legitimate and necessary action to safeguard China's sovereignty and national unity.
施毅强调，此举是对“台独”分裂势力及企图干涉台湾问题的外部势力发出的严正警告，是维护国家主权和国家统一的正当且必要行动。

His command also published a themed poster titled "Shield of Justice, Smashing Illusion".
其所在战区还发布了主题海报《正义之盾，粉碎幻象》。

此次最新军事行动是在美国本月早些时候宣布拟向台湾地区出售总额达111亿美元的大规模武器装备计划之后采取的。

该计划于周三公布，涵盖八个项目，包括“海马斯”火箭系统、榴弹炮、“标枪”反坦克导弹、“阿尔蒂乌斯”巡飞弹无人机以及其他装备的相关零部件。
