China’s navy is to hold live-fire drills in the Taiwan Strait next week.
The exercises come at a time of heightened tension with the US over Washington’s support for the island republic.
China regards Taiwan as a breakaway province.
The announcement came as the country’s navy concluded its biggest-ever fleet review, in the contested waters of the South China Sea.
