The company reached a deal with the regional government last year that allows the village to be destroyed in return for ending coal use by 2030, rather than 2038.

China Holds Large-Scale Joint Strike Drills as German Officials Arrive in TaiwanThe Chinese military has been holding large-scale joint combat strike drills since Sunday, sending war planes and navy vessels toward Taiwan. Both the Chinese and Taiwanese defense ministries have confirmed the drills. Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said Monday morning that China’s People’s Liberation Army flew 57 warplanes and four ships toward Taiwan over the course of 24 hours between 6 a.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Monday.
