Military drills around Taiwan over: China

China said it has completed nearly a week of military drills around Taiwan following a visit to the self-governing island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Sea and air operations were successful, said China's military, which vowed to keep patrolling the Taiwan Strait, reports BBC.

Pelosi's brief trip incensed Beijing, which views Taiwan as a breakaway province to be reunited with the mainland - by force if necessary.

Taiwan has accused China of using the drills as practice for an invasion.

The island's government rejects Chinese claims of sovereignty and sees itself as distinct from the mainland. Beijing seeks to isolate the island internationally.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking US official to land in Taiwan since the 1990s, defied China's warnings not to visit last week, sending tensions soaring.
