Tensions in the region are running high as China steps up its military presence following the Taiwanese president's visit to the US.
China has kept up military pressure against Taiwan despite the formal conclusion of the military drills.
The vast majority of Taiwan's population favours maintaining the current de-facto independent status, while the island's president, Ms Tsai, has said there is no need for a formal declaration since the democracy is already an independent nation. She also repeated China's assertion that its military threats are"targeted at Taiwan's independence separatist activities and interference from external forces, and by no means at our compatriots in Taiwan".
