Beijing called two-day exercises Punishment for independence-seeking separatists

Taiwan has scrambled jets and put missile, naval and ground forces on high alert as China conducts military exercises around the self-governing island democracy, where a new president took office this week, reports  Associated Press.

The Chinese military called the two-day drills outside Taiwan a punishment for separatist forces seeking independence.
