China recently conducted large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan as a response to what it perceives as "separatist acts." These drills come after Taiwan swore in a new leader who called on Beijing to cease intimidation tactics. China's ruling Communist Party considers Taiwan part of its territory and has vowed to take the island, even by force if necessary. Taiwan has responded by deploying its own warships and condemning the drills as provocations. The international community closely watches these developments due to concerns about accidental clashes and implications for regional stability.
