As a component of the naval and air exercises it is conducting around Taiwan, the Chinese military is publicizing video imagery of Taipei 101—the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2009—footage they claim is taken by a Chinese drone. While the building takes up a sizable portion of the image, it is not clear what the magnification is, or how close the drone approached Taiwan’s capital city.
The intended message is clear: the Taiwanese military cannot prevent China from operating around the island.
