China launches mock missile strikes on Taiwan

China has deployed dozens of warplanes and navy ships off the coast of Taiwan as part of a mock missile strike.

The two-day tests were staged to punish Taiwan's new president over his refusal to accept the island as part of China.

Sky's Asia Correspondent Nicole Johnston reports.

World war is definitely brewing to many big players starting fights, which will end up demanding allies to act so scary

China has zero right to threaten Taiwan with death and destruction.

Taiwan has lived peacefully and its people clearly want freedom and independence which needs to be respected.

Back off.

China is just wasting gasolines for that drills🙄

"Largest navy in the world" is misleading. 800k tons afloat, but the US has 3.5 million tons afloat, just on fewer hulls. Let's not even get into combat capability. US wins hands down.

We've been hearing this for 8 years

[Oldfogey]

Didn’t Putin also say he was only practicing a military drill?

So, they want Nvivdia Graphics Card? RTX 3060...

TAIWAN is not a UN member but when peace is at risk UN should say something about this matter.

[gajendramaratha]

Big country should come up with big responsibility....china is totally opposite. Under one china policy china is trying to harm other small countries. 9 dash line, 7 dash line is rediculous. Under 9 dash line china claims more than 80 % south china sea water. If all countries apply such logic like 9 dash line then all countries will claim most if the water surrounding its land area😂😂😂.

US and UK have military exercises around the globe, but nobody complains

[elenadunn]

Taiwan is Chinese, and China is conducting its military exercises on its own territory. The question is, what the US is doing in that region?

[Guesswhokk]

China don't take "no" for an answer, like in a chat up relationship.

[WhoAgainQM]

"China releases this chilling animation"

It looks like a a rip off cutscene of a game

[StackableGoldMC]

"Largest navy in the world" I mean, I think some countries would disagree with based off of differing definitions.

[Chkchk]

A third of their missiles missed in the simulation 😂

[JoBlack-dgey]

And Taiwan said "Go ahead punk. Make my day"

[xspiral-ww]

Lol their plastic soldiers cant take over a country. Didnt they lose a battle in South Sudan? 😂

[sdngy]

Are we sure that wasn't real missiles that went dud?

[mysticsspath]

If china takesover taiwan, India takes over tibet, then UN take over Taiwan 😆

[dufreversi]

Looks like Xi Jinping met putin and got a lot of aspiration.
