China preparing for invasion: Taiwan FM

After days of extensive Chinese war rehearsals, Taiwan’s military conducted a live-fire artillery drill simulating an island defence against an attack. Last week, in a heated response to a visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking US official to visit the autonomous island in decades, China began its largest-ever air and naval exercises surrounding Taiwan.

Taiwan lives under the constant threat of invasion by China, which views its neighbour as part of Chinese territory to be seized one day, by force if necessary.
