- It looks like this meets the DYK requirements as far as length and timing. The sources look good. I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia's approach to this topic area, but have you reviewed Wikipedia:Manual of Style/China- and Chinese-related articles? I don't personally see any issues but I wanted to at least do my diligence. Once we figure that out, each hook should also add a little more context for the average reader, explaining a bit more of the who / where. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- @CanonNi: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 15:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Z1720:, thanks for the ping. Honestly, I kinda forgot about this nomination... @Shooterwalker: thanks for the feedback. I've reviewed the MOS and think that the article and hook meet the guidlines and would be happy to fix any mistakes. About the context, I agree, so maybe we could change it to something like "...that China launched a military exercise in response to the inauguration of Lai Ching-te as president of Taiwan?

- Let's go with the hook as you rewrote it:
- ALT1a: "... ...that China launched a military exercise in response to the inauguration of Lai Ching-te as president of Taiwan?".
- I don't see any other issues. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Shooterwalker: Do you approve the nomination? If so, please add the green tick below. If not, what else is needed to get this approved? If you haven't conducted a review yet, and do not intend to, please add the red arrow, indicating that a "new reviewer is needed" below. Z1720 (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- The nomination is ready to proceed. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Potential promoter here, the AP article seems to say that Chinese military exercises rather than a single one are being conducted. Might the hook be worth slightly revising? PrimalMustelid (talk) 05:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- It seems like it's a singular joint military exercise, with multiple participants. At least that's my read of the article and the sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:29, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- PrimalMustelid Are there any remaining concerns? SL93 (talk) 17:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Speech
edit@Jag1762010, please see this source and this source, which both support the statement about his speech. In addition, you could watch the original speech, where he makes the statement at around 25:00. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 03:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The 2nd source is paywalled, and the YouTube link is untranslated. Even in the first link, it never says that he said Taiwan is not part of China or that China needs to acknowledge Taiwanese independence. It is the PRC that is claiming he mentioned these things, none of these sources say that he is. Jag1762010 (talk) 03:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
