Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “China and Taiwan: “Neither side wants war”” – below is their description.
Taiwan’s military has held live-fire artillery drills simulating a defence of the island as China continued the air and naval exercises it had launched in protest against US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-ruled territory.
Taiwanese officials say Tuesday’s drills, which involved soldiers firing howitzer artillery out to sea, had long been scheduled and were not a reaction to China’s unprecedented war games.
Australian National University’s Benjamin Herscovitch talks to Al Jazeera about the recent updates.
