The Chinese Ministry of The defense has warned that if necessary, it will take further action against Taiwan after conducting military exercises around the island today, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
"The People's Liberation Army of China will intensify its actions against any provocation related to ``Taiwan independence'' until the Taiwan issue is finally resolved,'' the statement said.
Today's exercises were not a repetition of the military maneuvers held in May, but represent an increase in pressure against Taiwan's independence, the ministry added.
