China plans to escalate its military exercises near Taiwan, prompting fears of a fresh crisis in the region
In the wake of US House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, China has revealed plans for unprecedented military exercises near the island, prompting fears of a crisis in the Taiwan Strait.
Pelosi visited the self-governing island this week in defiance of a series threats from Beijing, which views Taiwan as a breakaway province, and warned it would consider the visit a major provocation.
