China has recently launched a series of military exercises around Taiwan, signaling its displeasure with the island nation. These war games are seen as a form of 'punishment' by China in response to Taiwan's growing ties with the United States and other countries.

The exercises, which involve air and naval forces, are being conducted in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. China has described these maneuvers as necessary to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Taiwan, on the other hand, has viewed these actions as provocative and a threat to regional stability. The Taiwanese government has called on China to exercise restraint and engage in peaceful dialogue to resolve any disputes.
