China launches military drills around Taiwan as 'punishment'

China initiated two days of military drills around Taiwan in response to the inauguration of Taiwan's new president, Lai Ching-te, who emphasized Taiwan's sovereignty. These exercises aim to encircle Taiwan and serve as a warning against pro-independence forces and external interference. Taiwan condemned the drills as threats to regional peace but remains prepared to defend its security. Despite the tensions, Lai has signaled a willingness to engage in dialogue with Beijing and maintain peaceful relations.
