The Long March-4B carrier rocket carrying the Fengyun-3 07 weather satellite, takes off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, near Jiuquan, Gansu province, China April 16, 2023. REUTERSPIX: China said Sunday it had launched a satellite into orbit, with authorities in Taiwan saying rocket debris had fallen into the sea where Beijing announced a no-sail zone this week.
The announcements came days after Beijing declared an end to large-scale military drills around Taiwan carried out as a furious response to its leader Tsai Ing-wen's recent visit to the United States. Taipei’s defence ministry said the satellite’s orbit “passed over the seas off northern coast of Taiwan” and that “some rocket wreckage fell into the warning area”.
Beijing this month held three days of “Joint Sword” military manoeuvres after Tsai travelled to the US -- Taipei’s main security backer -- for meetings with a bipartisan group of lawmakers including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
