TAIPEI (AFP): Chinese warships and aircraft were still operating around Taiwan on Tuesday (April 11), the island's defence ministry said, a day after Beijing declared an end to its massive war games.

China launched three days of military exercises around self-ruled Taiwan on Saturday that saw it simulate targeted strikes and practise a blockade of the island.
