YEREVAN, AUGUST 8, ARMENPRESS. Shipping in the Taiwan Strait showed signs of returning to normal on Monday, though China’s announcement of a new military exercise near the island may spark renewed caution among vessel owners, Bloomberg reports.

More than 40 vessels have transited through China’s drill zone south of Taiwan’s main port since Saturday, according to Bloomberg.

Shipping in the Taiwan Strait, a key route for supply chains and commodities, has faced uncertainty and delays since Beijing began military drills i in the wake of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
