China says Taiwan independence 'doomed to fail' as it holds large-scale military drills

Efforts towards Taiwan independence are "doomed to fail", China says, as it conducts large-scale military drills around the self-ruled island.

China on Tuesday sent its army, navy, air and rocket forces to surround Taiwan for large-scale drills Beijing says are aimed at practising for "precision strikes" and a blockade.
