China has simulated several precision strikes against "key targets on the island of Taiwan and surrounding sea areas", state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.

The action is part of The Chinese People's Liberation Army's (PLA) military exercises that began on Saturday and are scheduled to continue until Monday.

Taiwan's defence ministry registered 70 fighter jets and 11 ships from the Chinese military, with 35 aircraft having entered Taiwan's south-western air defence identification zone. This is a buffer zone between the island state and the People's Republic of China.

The Taiwanese defence ministry in Taipei said: "Taiwan seeks neither escalation nor conflict."

The communist leadership in Beijing regards the democratically self-governed island of Taiwan as part of the People's Republic.
