China Ends War Games, Taiwan Condemns them as 'Blatant Provocation'
China ended two days of war games around Taiwan in which it simulated attacks with bombers and practiced boarding ships, exercises that Taiwan condemned as "blatant provocation" on Saturday, detailing a surge of Chinese warplanes and warships. Chinese state television's military channel said late on Friday the drills had concluded, Reuters reported. A commentary in the official People's Liberation Army Daily said they had lasted for two days from Thursday to Friday, as previously announced.
