China's military has released a video simulating a full-scale invasion of Taiwan, coinciding with recent military drills around the self-ruled island. These exercises, which included mock missile strikes and joint operations, involved 42 aircraft and 31 naval vessels, revealing Beijing's plans to take over Taiwan. China's Foreign Ministry has urged the US to stop supporting Taiwan's independence forces, while a spokesperson stated that the drills were a resolute punishment for Taiwan's secessionist provocations. Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te thanked the troops and urged them to help make the island safer. Taiwan's top security official remarked that the drills were more about propaganda and intimidation than starting a war, but they did show China's capability to react quickly. US Admiral Samuel Paparo noted that the drills appeared to be a rehearsal for an invasion. Experts warn that an invasion could conclude within an hour and cause global economic disruption.
