**Taiwan Stands Up to China’s Military Might**.
**Tensions Rise with China as Taiwan Conducts Military Exercises on Dongyin Island**.
Taiwanese forces recently conducted military exercises on Dongyin Island, a small island located between Taiwan and China. These exercises, which included live-fire drills, were a clear signal to China that Taiwan is not prepared to back down in the face of Beijing’s aggressive behavior..
China has long claimed Taiwan as its own territory, and in recent years, it has stepped up pressure on the island nation. Beijing has flown military aircraft near Taiwan, conducted naval exercises in the surrounding waters, and threatened to use force if Taiwan declares independence..
Taiwan, however, is determined to defend its sovereignty. The island has a strong military, and it has been conducting regular exercises to ensure that it is ready to respond to any threats from China..
The exercises on Dongyin Island were particularly significant because they were held on a day when China was conducting its own large-scale military exercises in the Taiwan Strait. This was seen as a clear attempt by China to intimidate Taiwan, but the Taiwanese government remained defiant..
