Caption: China Responds to Taiwan President's Remarks with Fresh Military Drills. China has launched a fresh round of military drills near Taiwan, calling it a response to a recent speech by Taiwanese President William Lai, where he affirmed Taiwan’s determination to defend its sovereignty against annexation. Taiwan, a self-governing island, is claimed by China, with President Xi Jinping vowing to take it by force if necessary. On Monday, Taiwan reported spotting 70 Chinese naval vessels, 125 aircraft, and several coast guard ships surrounding the island. China’s military confirmed that these exercises involve all branches of the People’s Liberation Army, simulating attacks by land, sea, and air. Taiwan’s president said some forces were deployed to monitor the situation and maintain their positions. Meanwhile, China reiterated its stance, calling Taiwanese independence incompatible with peace in the region. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
