Taiwan Accuses China of 'Military Intimidation' After Announcement of 'Large' Drills

Taiwan has accused China of 'military intimidation' following Beijing's announcement of 'large' military drills around the island. Taipei condemned China for violating international law and threatening neighboring countries through military exercises. The Taiwanese military has already deployed forces and established a response center to counter the upcoming drills. China's exercises are seen as an escalation of tensions between the two sides. Taiwan, which governs itself, is considered by China as a province that must be reunified, even by force if necessary. China's military exercises aim to demonstrate its ability to encircle and invade Taiwan. The situation is being closely monitored by the international community, as a conflict in the region could have serious global consequences.
