China has expressed dissatisfaction with countries congratulating the Taiwanese president-elect, warning against Taiwan independence and emphasizing its non-sovereign status. Tensions have escalated, with China conducting military maneuvers around Taiwan and pointing fingers at Japan over incidents.
