China's military on Monday released a video of its forces carrying out emergency drills on the ground, at sea and in the air as part of its latest round of war games around Taiwan, and said the exercises were a warning and that the independence of Taiwan means war. The exercises involved a total of 125 Chinese military aircraft and 17 warships, Taiwan's defense ministry said.

According to Su Tzuyun, a director and research fellow at Taiwan's governmentfunded Institute for National Defense and Security Research, said "The objective of this round of drills clearly was to also send a message to the U.S., Japan and other democratic nations."

The drills came four days after Taiwan celebrated the founding of its government on its National Day, when Taiwanese President Lai Chingte said in a speech that China has no right to represent Taiwan and declared his commitment to “resist annexation or encroachment.”
