The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the country's latest military drills around Taiwan represent "severe punishment" for the island's "separatist" forces' efforts to seek independence.
The ministry's spokesperson Lin Jian stressed that the military exercises were needed to "safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
China started the two-day live-fire drills on Monday in the waters and airspace surrounding Taiwan, with the island placing its military on "high alert" and urging Beijing to "immediately halt irresponsible provocations." Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he was not concerned about the exercises as China has been conducting such drills for years and added he does not think it will attack the island.
