Taiwan’s cabinet on Wednesday said the military has increased its alertness level and authorities will make plans to ensure safety and stability around the island after China announced a series of military exercises in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s arrival in Taipei.

Taiwan’s cabinet also said its citizens should feel reassured and that a national stabilisation fund for the stock market will closely watch the situation and react in a timely manner.
