Reuters: Get used to drills, China tells Taiwan; Taipei says it seeks peace
BEIJING/TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan will gradually get used to Chinese air force drills that encircle the island, China said on Wednesday, while Taiwan’s premier reiterated the self-ruled island’s desire for peaceful relations with its giant neighbor.
China considers democratic Taiwan to be its sacred territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring what it views as a wayward province under Chinese control.
It has taken an increasingly hostile stance toward Taiwan since Tsai Ing-wen, from the island’s pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, won presidential elections last year and has stepped up its rhetoric and military exercises.
Beijing suspects her of pushing for the island’s formal independence, a red line for China. Tsai says she wants peace with China, but also that she will defend Taiwan’s security and way of life.

You know if China were a human individual and would act like it does as a nation, we would call that individual a psychopath - clinically speaking. An individual that acts like China, unable to make friends or connect on an empathic level. Considering that the individual also makes threats we'd have to assume a violent psycho-sociopathic behaviour. Also the "everything is about me"(China rule) and belongs to me "China claims of south China Sea" are part of this disease. ..so we are dealing with a violent narcissistic sociopathic entity. Taiwan should either accept rule by such a person or entity or prepare itself to fend of the sick beast
