Taiwan’s Defense Ministry says it's monitoring waves of test-firing by China’s missile unit in a region more than 1,000 miles from the self-ruled island and that its air force stepped up its alertness. China views the democratic island as a breakaway province that should be reunified with the mainland. According to Taiwan’s military news agency, the ministry had detected multiple waves of test-firing operations by China’s Rocket Force in Inner Mongolia on Saturday. It is not immediately clear whether the tests were related to China’s military harassment of Taiwan.
