China launches military drills around Taiwan
China has launched military drills surrounding Taiwan and called the island's president a parasite.
Taipei says it's responding to Chinese ships and has accused Beijing of undermining regional peace.
Sky News Asia Correspondent Stas Butler said a Chinese aircraft carrier led a group of about 19 warships around Taiwan.
“Chinese authorities have said this is a punishment or deterrence for what it calls rampant provocations by Taiwan’s government,” Mr Butler said.
