Taiwan conducted military drills featuring missiles and drones on Friday ahead of the summit next week in the U.S. between President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping in which the fate of the self-ruled island will be discussed.
China claims Taiwan, a self-governing democracy, as its own breakaway province and hasn’t renounced the use of force to bring it under its control. Beijing has pushed Trump to take a stronger stance opposing Taiwan’s independence. The leaders of the U.S. and China are set to meet on Sept. 24 for the first time since May.
