Following American senator Rick Scott's visit to Taiwan, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted large-scale drills around the island, as a flex of military power. Furthermore, senior Chinese General warned his US counterpart against any "wanton" act, stating that it will be dealt with "firm consequences". Meanwhile, senator Scott is on a three-day visit to Taiwan. He is scheduled to meet Taiwanese president Tsai-Ing-wen.
