Taiwan convenes meeting on NSC amid China's drills

Taipei, Oct 14 (UNI) Taiwanese authorities have convened a high-level meeting on national security amid China's large-scale military exercises around the island, National Security Council (NSC) Secretary-General Joseph Wu said on Monday.
Earlier on Monday, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced that it had launched the Joint Sword-2024B military drills around Taiwan to practice a joint assault, blocking and taking control of key ports and areas of the island.
"The president [Lai Ching-te] has convened a high-level meeting on national security in response to the threat from China's military and has issued clear instructions," Wu was quoted as saying by Taiwan's Central News Agency, adding that government agencies were also preparing for any potential Chinese actions that could affect Taiwan's society and economy.
