the official said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>It was &#8220;extremely rare&#8221; for China to deploy sea operations of such scale at this time of the year when sea conditions are usually rough, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s government believes China&#8217;s decision not to announce the drills could be because Beijing is trying to minimise the impact on two major events with Taiwanese businessmen and politicians, one taking place this week and another next week, the official added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a carrot and stick approach,&#8221; the official said, pointing to Beijing&#8217;s annual charm offensive programmes towards Taiwan, including a visit to Taipei by one of Shanghai&#8217;s deputy mayors next week.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"promo-box\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__base__22dCE body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__promo-box__3bCm_\"> Sign up <!-- --> <a data-testid=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/taiwan-reports-continued-surge-chinese-military-activity-2024-12-11\/undefined?location=article-paragraph\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__inherit-color__3208F text__inherit-font__1Y8w3 text__inherit-size__1DZJi link__link__3Ji6W link__underline_default__2prE_\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body__element__2p5pI\">\n<p data-testid=\"Body\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__extra_small__1Mw6v body__full_width__ekUdw body__extra_small_body__3QTYe sign-off__text__PU3Aj sign-off__no-margin-top__2e9N-\">Reporting by Ryan Woo, Ben Blanchard and Yimou Lee;
