China is changing in big ways. You’re going to want to watch and stay abreast of what’s happening.

Taiwan has raised its alert levels in response to China’s largest-ever military exercises near its waters. With nearly 90 Chinese naval and coast guard ships deployed, Beijing’s show of force targets the island chain that spans Japan to Borneo.

Despite mounting pressure, Taiwan reaffirmed its sovereignty, rejecting Beijing’s claims and asserting that only the Taiwanese people can determine their future.#china #taiwan #xijinping #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
