Taiwan started scheduled live-fire artillery drills on Tuesday amid China’s ongoing military manoeuvres around the island.

The live ammunition artillery exercise known as the Tien Lei drill was announced in late July and was designed to simulate Taiwan’s defence against an attack by China’s People’s Liberation Army.

It is taking place on Tuesday and Thursday this week and was planned as part of Taiwan’s annual Han Kuang exercises, but comes amid heightened tensions and just after China said it would extend large-scale air and sea drills to the north, south-west and east of Taiwan that had been due to end on Sunday.

No new formal end date has been announced.

Taiwanese television reported Tuesday that flares were fired in coastal areas during the military exercise in Pingtung County in Taiwan’s south, near a zone previously designated by the Chinese army for its drill.

Taiwan’s foreign ministry condemned China’s extension of its manoeuvres near Taiwan.

“China’s real intention behind these military exercises is to alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the entire region,” Taiwan’s foreign minister Joseph Wu told a news conference on Tuesday in Taipei.

Mr Wu said China’s large-scale military exercises, missile launches and cyberattacks were all part of Beijing’s “military playbook to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan.”

He said they were strategies to “weaken public morale” on the island.

There's no difference between Taiwanese and Biafra.

Ewooh eeh small nyash de shake.

Good, China should stop its provocative actions

I will advice Taiwan to learn from Zelensky's foolishness. If Taiwan allow US to push them into confrontation with China, I feel sorry for them. China will decimate them badly beyond how Russia destroyed Ukraine without consequences.

A word is enough for the wise

The fact is, the peace of the world will continue to deteriorate until the prince of peace shows in the sky.

China is just bluffing.
Taiwan is the world's largest semiconductor and microchips producer and China depends on them. China also depends on western markets far more than Russia does.

there is nothing bad for Taiwan to shake their small nyash as long they are shaking it to protect their freedom from Oppresor.

China should leave Taiwan alone and stop oppressing them. God bless America

I have said it earlier, china will invade Taiwan by October latest March 2023. Everything is set already

Good one Taiwan ! Do not be intimidated in the face of travail. China can not afford a proxy war with the US of A .

Military might that could not win a war against militia in Iraq and Afghanistan who are not well trained and equipped as the Chinese army , USA is a joke, how many wars have they won in recent times.

The only thing the US is good at is destabilizing regions for selfish interest.

Keep quiet !!! Always regurgitating balderdash .
They didn't win until they kill the whole Iraq population because according to you that is what a win means .

US will not fight China. US is been controlled by outside forces. thus leaving it vulnerable.

Bro remember during the Korean war the US faced china and dealt with them and Douglas MacArthur wanted even escalating the war by heading to China an finish communist China once and for all but president Harry Truman then fired him and called him back to Washington.

So you see despite the US been trying to be shadowy about whether it'll face China if it attacks Taiwan is that their is a high probability this time it'll.

The invasion will be bloody and costly bro.

I do hope China doesn't actually do it.

I do not rate the US high with the woke army they now parade. There is an ongoing effort to destroy the US from within. Most of their politicians are double agents for Communist China and Middle East Petro Dollar monarchies. This is how I see things, I might be wrong though.

China just messing with the wrong guys. mean while Taiwan just chilin with the big boys US.

Dvdpity:

China is Taiwan, Taiwan is China. Get educated.

Lolz, ask what happened the last time China tried to invade.

Fire games.

Lolz, just ask or browse about the time China tried to invade Taiwan. It ended in tears.
Ukraine is a flatland, with huge Russian population, its easy to invade.
Taiwan is an Island, a well defended island with rocky beaches. Its closest beach to China is 100 miles, do the math. If u can

Dvdpity:

China is Taiwan, Taiwan is China. Get educated.

China is China. Taiwan is Taiwan. USA is USA. Canada is Canada. Connect the dot if you are intelligent.

Its not left for Taiwan to admit, Taiwan was China's territory when d nationalist govt fell to d communist party, they fled to d Island for refuje and formed a self government there, the mistake China made was not forcefully taking over d Island before they sought US protection, US was always going to side interests that re not beneficial to Beijing, is also the same reason why US won't admit a Palestine state,

And that is why I'm advising Taiwan to avoid any confrontation with China ,banking on US support,it will fail them. Zelensky will be regretting by now, Taiwan shouldn't make such mistake
