TL;DR Summary
China has initiated large-scale military drills around Taiwan as a "punishment" for what it calls "separatist acts" following the inauguration of Taiwan's new leader, Lai Ching-te.

Taiwan has condemned the drills as provocations undermining regional stability, while the international community, including the UN, has urged restraint.
