China said Friday that more than 100 warplanes and 10 warships have taken part in live-fire military drills surrounding Taiwan over the past two days, while announcing sanctions on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her visit to the self-governing island earlier this week.
The military's Eastern Theater Command also fired new versions of missiles it said hit unidentified targets in the Taiwan Strait “with precision”.
