Violence ends with a ceasefire in Gaza – ticker NEWS

China and Taiwan are playing a military game of cat and mouse as tensions on the high seas remain high.

It follows U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi meeting with her Taiwanese counterparts in Taipei last week.

This visit infuriated China, as the nation regards the self-ruled island as its own territory.

Beijing has since responded by test launching ballistic missiles over Taiwans capital for the first time in history.

China and Taiwan each launched 10 warships in the Taiwan Strait, with some Chinese vessels crossing the unofficial buffer separating the two sides.

Speaking at a conference in Bangladesh, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says his countrys actions are legitimate and reasonable, aimed at protecting Chinas sacred sovereignty.

It must be borne in mind that Taiwan is not a part of the United States it is Chinas territory

Meanwhile, in the United States, former President Donald Trump called out Pelosis visit.

What was she doing? She fails. The women brings chaos, Trump said at a conservative conference in Dallas, Texas.

Trump continued, adding [Pelosi] played right into [Chinas] hands, because now they have an excuse to do whatever theyre doing.

Trump was the star contributor at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday evening.
