Chinese, Indonesian naval frigates complete maritime exercise in waters east of China's Taiwan island: PLA Eastern Theater Command

A PLA Eastern Theater Command naval formation and Indonesian Navy frigates completed a joint maritime exercise in waters east of Taiwan, though the article does not specify the exercise name, participating hull designations, or exact duration. The exercise documents a pattern of PLA Eastern Theater Command activity in the waters east of Taiwan that runs concurrent with CCG law-enforcement patrols around the island and Liaoning carrier drills in the same general area — the convergence of these three activities raises the question of whether they were coordinated as a unified pressure package or coincided independently.
