Does anyone not think those exercises were designed to send a political message, specifically in response to US politicians visiting Taiwan? Yes they were military exercises, but quite blatantly it wasn't China actually needing to do any testing or training of their military, except using it to send a political message (both domestically and internationally). (Which isn't my giving an opinion on the likelihood or not of China ever using military force against Taiwan, just a response to your ridiculing the idea that recent actions weren't political).
