Taiwan conducts live-fire missile drills as China ramps up military threats
JIUPENG, Taiwan — Taiwan’s military launched surface-to-air missiles in live-fire drills conducted Tuesday in response to growing military pressure from China.
China claims the democratically ruled island of Taiwan as its own territory, to be brought under its control by force if necessary and ramped up its military threat in recent years. Taipei has boosted its deterrence capabilities in response. Missiles, both domestically built and U.S.-made, are key to its defense strategy.“This shows our training is very strict and solid,” he said.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said early Tuesday it spotted five Chinese military jets and 11 ships close to its shores over the previous 24 hours. One aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial demarcation zone between the two sides.
