• Chinese ships have pulled back after conducting massive drills around Taiwan.
• Taiwan remains on high alert following the exercises.
• The Chinese military has fired rockets near Taiwan as part of its drills.
• China practiced a port seizure with amphibious forces during its exercises.

The exercises were conducted in the South China Sea, and involved multiple naval vessels, aircraft, and amphibious forces. The Chinese military announced that it had successfully completed its drills, but did not provide further details on the nature or scope of the exercises.

Taiwan remains on high alert following the exercises, with officials expressing concern about the potential implications for regional security. China has also fired rockets near Taiwan as part of its drills, which has raised concerns among regional leaders.
