ABC News Australia: China's military conducts combat readiness patrol in direction of Taiwan Strait

China's military says it conducted a combat readiness patrol in the direction of the Taiwan Strait, after its defence ministry condemned a visit to Taiwan by a US Congressional delegation.

The patrol was aimed at what the Chinese military said in a statement were the "seriously wrong" words and actions of "relevant countries" on the Taiwan issue and the activities of pro-independence forces in Taiwan.

The Chinese military said the patrol was a test of its ability to operate across multiple forces.
