Taiwan Calls For Growing "Combat Capabilities" After China's Military Drills

China has ended its two days of military exercise around Taiwan aimed at testing the ability to “seize power” over the island. China held simulated attacks with bombers during the drill. Taiwan condemned the Chinese drills as “blatant provocation” and said that the military moves undermine the peaceful and status quo of the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwanese Defence Ministry called on personnel to grow "combat capabilities" as the island reported a surge in Chinese warplanes and warships. Taiwanese forces detected “62 Chinese aircraft and 27 naval ships” while "46 planes crossed the median line that served as an unofficial barrier between the two sides in Taiwan Strait. China’s “punishment” exercises followed new Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's inauguration. Beijing views the new president as a “separatist”.
