China is encircling Taiwan in a series of military drills - just days after Taiwan’s president was elected.  

The Chinese military says the onslaught of planes, war ships and coast guard vessels is punishment for what it's calling "separatist actions". 

Asia Business Correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis Allan “This is a step up from what we've seen before.” 

Lewis said “For the first time ever, China has simulated a full-scale invasion of Taiwan.”
