Taiwanese fighter jets have turned a highway into a runway as annual military drills reached their peak.
President Tsai Ing-wen watched the display on Wednesday to see how prepared the armed forces are for the threat of a Chinese invasion.
China has been ramping up pressure on the self-ruled territory, including repeated exercises near Taiwan, hoping to force the democratically elected government to accept Beijing’s sovereignty.
