LIVE: China's "Punishment Drills" Near Taiwan: Will China Invade Taiwan? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A Chinese state media broadcaster, CCTV, has released an animated video showing the bombing of Taiwan by the Chinese military. The video shows Chinese jets loaded with live ammunition and bombers carrying out simulated strikes on the island nation. Meanwhile, China has also launched two days of military exercises around Taiwan, which Beijing refers to as "punishment drills" against "separatist activities" of the island nation. China's People’s Liberation Army has stated that these drills are designed to test its ability to "seize power" over the island. This comes just days after Taiwan sworn in its new President, Lai Ching-te, who, in his address, called upon Beijing to stop threatening Taiwan. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tell you more.
Note: An inadvertent error was made while describing CCTV's video on Taiwan, where "launched" was spelled as "launch". The error is regretted.
