Growing Tensions Between Taiwan and China Amid Live-Fire Drills

Taiwan has condemned China for conducting unannounced live-fire drills off its coast, describing the actions as dangerous provocations and a significant military threat. In response, Taiwan has mobilized its navy and air force to counter what it perceives as a high degree of danger from Chinese military activities. Chinese warships and fighter jets recently held snap live-fire drills 40 miles from Taiwan, coinciding with reports of increased military presence, with Taiwan detecting a record number of Chinese aircraft in just 24 hours. As both sides ramp up military readiness, regional tensions continue to escalate, raising fears of potential conflict.
