Taipei, Aug. 12 (CNA) Taiwan's top agency on China has "strongly condemned" Beijing's plan to hold a naval exercise with Indonesia in waters east of Taiwan, calling it a "military provocation" that infringes on Taiwan's sovereignty and threatens regional security. China is now going a step further by seeking to conduct military exercises with "related countries" in waters east of Taiwan, MAC said, accusing Beijing of engaging in "exercises in name, expansion in reality." The moves are intended to create a "false impression" internationally that Beijing has jurisdiction over waters east of Taiwan, while "blatantly infringing" on Taiwan's sovereignty, and maritime rights and undermining regional peace and stability, MAC said. The Chinese announcement did not specify the exact location or duration of the exercise, or how far the participating vessels would operate from Taiwan. Taiwan, formally the Republic of China, and Indonesia do not have formal diplomatic relations but have representative offices in each other's capitals and extensive economic and labor ties.
