Taiwan is building up and developing missiles and interceptors in order to counter the military expansion of China. Since 2016, under the Presidentship of Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan has deployed one set of missiles, perfected another and sped production of a third. This development in its defence is to reduce Beijing's military advantage over the self-ruled island. As a training mission, Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent warships, bombers and fighter planes over the self-governed island in a show of strength.
