Taiwan's foreign minister said on Tuesday that China's military drills it launched in protest against U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit was really an excuse to prepare for an invasion of the self-ruled island.

"China has used the drills in its military playbook to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan," Joseph Wu said, adding "China’s real intention behind these military exercises is to alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the entire region.”

Wu, who offered no timetable for a possible invasion of Taiwan, which is claimed by China as its own, said Taiwan would not be intimidated even as the drills continued with China often breaching the unofficial median line down the Taiwan Strait.
