China Launches Joint Sword Drills in Waters Around Taiwan, Signaling Growing Military Presence in Region

China launched the Joint Sword drills on Saturday, a show of strength in response to Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen's visit to the US. The drills were smaller in scale than last August's live-fire military exercises, and are seen as a warning to Taiwan and the US. It remains to be seen how the US and Taiwan will respond to the drills, and whether China will continue to increase its military presence in the region.
