China has conducted multiple military exercises in various seas, including the Bohai Gulf and the South China Sea. Taiwan has responded by tracking Chinese fighters with surface-to-air missiles. The US has been involved, with accusations of a U2 spy plane trespassing and naval operations in the Taiwan Strait. In response, China test-fired missiles, including the DF26B, into the sea near the Paracel Islands.
