Chinese state media released a new poster titled "Plainly Visible" for the "Justice Mission 2025" military drills around Taiwan in the 29 minutes ending at 3:15 a.m. UTC on December 29, 2025, featuring satellite imagery of Taiwanese military infrastructure with the caption "How could you ever attempt 'independence'?", according to a post by TaiwanMonitor on X. The poster follows earlier releases, including an "Arrow of Justice" graphic described as a countermeasure against U.S.-Taiwan collusion, as reported by TaiwanMonitor during the prior reporting window up to 2:45 a.m. UTC. It aligns with Senior Colonel Shi Yi's announcement via ChinaMilBugle on X of joint drills by PLA Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force in areas north, southwest, southeast, and east of Taiwan Island. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense established an emergency response center and initiated combat readiness exercises earlier at 2:45 a.m. UTC in response to the drills, per FaytuksNetwork on X. The Presidential Office urged restraint, stating its forces are fully prepared, as noted by TaiwanMonitor and JaimeOcon1 on X.
