PINGTAN: Tourists on the beaches of Pingtan island, China's closest point to Taiwan island, were on Thursday treated to an unexpected sight: helicopters in formation and smoke trails from projectiles.
United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a solidarity trip to the self-ruled islandThe exercises are expected to last until noon on Sunday and some - to the awe of parasol-holding tourists who rushed to the top of the rocky coastal hills to snap pictures - have been visible from Pingtan, 126km from Hsinchu on Taiwan island.Related:
Taiwan, which along with the United States and its allies condemned the drills, has been self-ruled since 1949, when Mao Zedong's communists took power in Beijing after defeating Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang nationalists in a civil war, prompting the KMT-led government to retreat to the island.
