  "account": "Taiwan's government has strongly condemned China's planned naval drills involving an Indonesian warship, describing the actions as \"dangerous.\" Taiwan asserts that Beijing is attempting to give the false impression that it has control over waters near the island. China considers Taiwan to be its own territory, which has caused tension in Taipei and raised concerns in Washington and other Western capitals. In June, China began conducting coast guard patrols off Taiwan's eastern coast, exacerbating the situation. On Tuesday, China's defense ministry announced that a drill, set to occur mid-August at an unspecified location east of Taiwan, would involve an Indonesian navy ship. This move is unusual, as China typically does not engage in exercises with foreign militaries near Taiwan.",
  "summary": "Taipei says Beijing was trying to create a false impression that it controls waters east of Taiwan, where the drills were conducted.",
