25 images from China's military drills around Taiwan

China intensified its military drills with new weapons and more fighter jets around Taiwan. The war games are the retaliation to the visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taipei. Chinese government also issued warnings to the self-ruled island for welcoming the US leader. The Chinese military launched military exercise after Pelosi angered Beijing by visiting Taipei to show her solidarity for democracy in Taiwan. Although, China views Taiwan as a rebel province that must be reunified with the mainland, even by force. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is conducting joint combat training exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan island. The drills involved all wings of the Chinese armed forces including the missile forces, aircraft carrier group besides hundreds of warplanes. Chinese government accused the United States of provocative acts, for which it must hold accountable and bear full responsibility for the serious consequences of it. On the other hand, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said China cannot dictate to the self-ruled island who they should welcome and who they should not. "China has always been threatening Taiwan for years and it's getting more serious in the last few years," Wu said. "Whether Speaker Pelosi visits Taiwan or not, the Chinese military threat against Taiwan has always been there and that is the fact that we need to deal with."
