On May 24, the sound of helicopters flying overhead could be heard from time to time in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China, which is located on the opposite coast of the Pratas Islands, a remote island in Taiwan that is the target area of the Chinese military exercises.
However, residents seemed to be living their lives as usual, while there is little sense of strain.
A 56-year-old male who visited the city's cape to see the exercise was disappointed, saying that "It should be the large scale exercises, but it's disappointing impossible to see missile firings and the warships."
> 岬から馬祖島までの距離は約 20キロ。
> 男性は「中国軍の実力は近年向上しており、台湾がかなうはずがない」と自信にあふれた様子で語った。
> 同じ岬の岩場でカキなどを採っていた女性は「演習があることさえ知らない。私には関係ない」と淡々と作業を続けた。
The distance from the cape to the Pratas Islands is approx. 20 km.
The male spoke confidently that "The strength of the Chinese PLA has improved in recent years. Therefore there is no way that Taiwan can match it."
A female who were collecting oysters and so on at the rocky area on the same cape continued her work calmly, saying that "I don't even know the exercises is conducted. It's none of my business."
