China Punishes Taiwan; PLA Jets and Warships Surround The Island In Major Showdown

China has initiated two days of military drills encircling Taiwan, branding them as "punishment" for "separatist acts." This move comes shortly after Taiwan's newly elected leader, Lai Ching-te, was sworn in.

The ruling Communist Party of China maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory, despite never having controlled it, and has vowed to reclaim the island by force if necessary.
