00:21to the international order, according to a statement from Taipei on Saturday.
00:27These war games, which encircled the self-ruled island, concluded with heightened tensions
00:33and international concern.
00:36The drills commenced just three days after Taiwan's President Lai Shing-te took office.
00:42In his inauguration speech, Lai reiterated Taiwan's commitment to its sovereignty, a
00:48declaration that Beijing swiftly denounced as a confession of independence.
00:54China views Taiwan as part of its territory and regards President Lai as a dangerous separatist.
01:03By Friday evening, China's state-run military news channel CCTV7 announced the completion
01:10of the operation, dubbed Joint Sword 2024A.
01:16The exercises were extensive, involving simulated strikes on Taiwan's leadership, ports and
01:23airports.

01:30Army vessels had inched closer than ever before to Taiwan's shores during these manoeuvres.
01:39Ensuring peace and stability across the region is related to the common interest of the international
01:45community.
01:46However, China's recent unilateral provocation not only undermines the status quo of peace
01:53and stability in Taiwan Strait, but it is also a blatant provocation to the international
01:59order, triggering serious concern and condemnation from the international community.

02:13of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to stop all forms of political and military
02:20intimidation and to pursue co-existence and mutual benefit.
02:25Despite the rising tensions, Taiwan remains steadfast.
02:30Taiwan reassured the public that President Lai and the national security team are fully
02:36aware of the situation and are prepared to respond to any developments.
02:43A self-ruled island with its own democratically elected government, military and currency
02:49continues to face pressure from Beijing, which has not ruled out the use of force to bring
02:55the island under its control.
02:57The international community watches closely as these developments unfold with serious
