TAIPEI, Taiwan—While countries around the world are focusing on containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has pushed ahead with its geopolitical objectives in a series of recent military operations.
Beijing is using military maneuvers to put pressure on Taiwan because the island’s current government, led by Tsai Ing-wen, has received international accolades for being able to contain the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, even with the island’s proximity to the mainland.
