By Yimou Lee TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan is considering warning citizens about risks of travelling to countries with strong ties to China, such as Laos and Cambodia, as they could be caught up in Beijing's campaign against Taiwan independence supporters,

The adverse relations between China and Taiwan seem to be worsening as the latter is reported to be mulling over to issue a warning to its citizens against a probability of being caught into the intricate cobweb of the ongoing political and military tussle between the two hostile neighbours.

Taiwan says China violated norms and caused a "high degree of danger" by announcing "live-fire exercises without prior warning" just off its coast.

As Taipei faces constant military threats from Beijing, social media users have falsely claimed a video shows a Taiwanese soldier's uniform getting stuck as he jumps from a landing craft. A Swedish film archives foundation that owns the footage told AFP it was recorded more than a decade ago and that the soldiers are European.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) yesterday urged Taiwanese to be aware of their safety when traveling abroad, especially in countries that are friendly to China.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's defence ministry said on Thursday that over the past 24 hours it had detected 45 Chinese military aircraft and 14 navy ships operating around the island, including seven ships in a Chinese-declared drill zone off Taiwan's southwest coast.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) reported two sorties of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft, and six People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels were detected until 6 am (local time) on Tuesday.

Taiwanese authorities are investigating a Chinese-crewed ship suspected of severing an undersea communications cable in the latest such incident adding to tensions between Taipei and Beijing

As Chinese leaders meet in Beijing, they are striking a confident posture despite serious challenges to the economy and growing pressure from the United States.

Taiwan has different immigration laws for people from China — including Hong Kong and Macau — due to historical claims over territory now administered by Beijing. Typically, laws related to Hong Kong and Macau are more lax, given the comparative degree of freedom those cities enjoyed as former colonies of the UK and Portugal respectively.

Taiwan detected 11 Chinese balloons near the island in a single-day record, the defence ministry said Friday. The balloons were spotted along with five Chinese aircraft and six warships in the 24 hours to 6:00 am (2200 GMT on Thursday), the ministry said in its daily report.

The country’s top leaders set an optimistic growth target but gave few hints of how to achieve it as their export-led strategy is challenged by rising tariffs on Chinese goods.
