Military drills in China’s southeastern coastal areas are not meant to target anything specific, according to China's Ministry of National Defense.

The military drills conducted by the PLA, PLA Navy and PLA Air Force are simply routine practice, intended to test and improve the army's ability to combat security threats and complete military tasks, said the Defense Ministry on Tuesday.

The drills consisted of infantry, armored forces, artillery, and special-operation forces from the 31st Group Army simulated beach landings, Chen Xiaoming, a regiment commander, told the PLA Daily, the official newspaper of the People's Liberation Army. 

Some had speculated that the drills were in response to the current situation in southeastern coastal areas.
