China has responded to US politician Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan by conducting live-fire military drills close to the island, as well as cutting off the transport of certain goods to the mainland.
The Chinese military drills have included launching missiles into the strait between the two territories and Taiwan’s military has responded by saying it is “preparing for war without seeking it.”
In addition to conducting large-scale wargames, China has also halted the exports of some goods from Taiwan, including sand (a key construction material), citrus fruits and some types of fish.
