China Has Simulated A Full-Scale Invasion Of Taiwan To “Punish” It For Electing Another Pro-Independence President

China has simulated a full-scale invasion of Taiwan to “punish” it for electing another pro-independence president.

In his first speech, Lai called on China to stop threatening Taiwan and said the two countries “don’t belong to each other”.

Three days later, on May 23, China deployed dozens of fighter jets and naval vessels around Taiwan and conducted mock attacks over two days.

It also held military drills on four Taiwanese islands that are close to the Chinese coast for the first time.

Experts said that the Chinese military had simulated a full-scale invasion of Taiwan.

The Chinese government said the military exercises were “strong punishment” for Taiwan’s “separatist acts”.

The Taiwanese government said it had deployed its own naval, air and ground forces to monitor the situation.

It also condemned the drills, saying that China was threatening Taiwan’s democracy and freedom, as well as regional peace and stability with its “unilateral military provocations.”
