Taipei, May 23 (AFP) May 23, 2024
Taiwan condemned China on Thursday for launching two days of military drills around the self-ruled island, which Beijing called a "strong punishment" for "separatist acts".

"The Ministry of National Defence strongly condemned such irrational provocations and actions that undermine regional peace and stability. We have dispatched sea, air and ground forces to respond ... to defend freedom, democracy and the sovereignty of the Republic of China," it said, referring to Taiwan by its official name.
