Chinese warplanes have soared close to Taiwan's maritime border ahead of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's expected landing in Taipei later today.
China has repeatedly warned against Pelosi going to Taiwan, which it claims as its own, and the United States said on Monday
that it would not be intimidated by Chinese "sabre rattling" over the visit.
But this morning clips recorded in Xiamen, a coastal city facing Taiwan, show trains carrying military equipment, naval vessels and armoured trucks lining the roads.
