Beijing, which considers the autonomous island as part of its territory, began military exercises of an unprecedented scale to protest against Pelosi’s visit to Taipei.

According to Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi, Chinese ballistic missiles would have fallen this Thursday in Japan’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for the first time.

Since the announcement of Chinese military exercises, Japan, a close ally of the United States, has expressed “concern.”

Pelosi, 82, is scheduled to meet Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday, according to state television NHK.
