Reuters: Taiwan vows counter-attack if Chinese forces enter its territory 

TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan said on Wednesday it would exercise its right to self-defence and counter-attack if Chinese armed forces entered its territory, as Beijing increased military activities near the democratically governed island.
