Taiwan condemns 'dangerous' planned Chinese navy drill with Indonesia to its east

Taiwan is in the midst of its annual Han Kuang war games, where it simulates how to beat back an attempted Chinese attack.

China's announcement came as U.S. Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby met with Indonesian Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin at his Jakarta office on Tuesday.

Sjafrie told Colby that expanding defence cooperation with the United States is not intended to establish a U.S. military base in Indonesia, his office cited him as saying.

China recognises no sovereignty claims by Taiwan's government and its military operates around the island on an almost daily basis.

Like most countries, Indonesia has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, but the island is home to more than 300,000 Indonesian migrant workers.
