Taiwan on Alert Over 'Waves' of Missile Tests in North China

CHINA-TAIWAN - TAIPEI - Taiwan's defense ministry said on Saturday it was monitoring "waves" of missile tests taking place in China's far northern region of Inner Mongolia and that its air defense forces were on alert.

Democratically governed Taiwan, which China views as its territory, keeps a close watch on all Chinese military activities given Beijing's regular activities around the island, but only rarely releases details of what it sees taking place inside China.
