Taiwan holds missile exercise amid rising tensions with mainland China

Taiwan’s air, sea and land forces held a joint missile-firing exercise on May 24, 2022, amid rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait. China recently conducted military exercises around the self-governing island as a warning after US President Joe Biden said on May 23, 2022, that the United States would defend Taiwan if it came under attack.
