China launched military drills around Taiwan on April 8, in what it called a "stern warning" to the self-ruled island's government following a meeting between its president and the US House speaker.
The exercise will also include live-fire drills on Monday off the coast of China's Fujian province, which faces Taiwan, the local maritime authority said in a statement. "The operations are necessary for safeguarding China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity." China was using Tsai's US visit as an "excuse to conduct military exercises, which has seriously undermined peace, stability and security in the region", the ministry said.Last August, China deployed warships, missiles and fighter jets around Taiwan in its largest show of force in years, following a trip to the island by McCarthy's predecessor, Nancy Pelosi.
