China Implements No-Fly and No-Ship Zones Near Taiwan Due to Rocket Debris
TL;DR
China's local maritime authorities have issued a warning for possible rocket debris in waters northeast of Taiwan, saying ships would be banned from entering the area on April 16. The announcement comes after China held large-scale military drills that formally ended Monday in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's transit visit last week to the United States. Tensions remain high and China sent warplanes flying toward Taiwan more than 200 times over the weekend, while its navy ships circled the self-ruled island.
