China stages war games around Taiwan in warning against 'separatist acts'
China conducted military exercises in the waters and air around Taiwan this Monday. Beijing said the drills would serve as a warning to Taiwan's independence forces. Beijing, which claims Taiwan as part of its own territory, deployed fighter jets, drones, warships and coast guard vessels to encircle the island in its fourth round of large-scale war games in just over two years. The United States said China's actions were "unwarranted" and risked "escalation" as it called on Beijing to act with restraint. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney asks Harvard Kennedy School's Rana Mitter about the significance and timing of the drills.
