Footage taken from state broadcaster CCTV shows military aircraft taking part in exercises. In response, Taiwan has sailed its own warships and planes and put its missiles on standby. Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-wen has urged the international community to “halt any escalation of the regional security situation."
