Taiwan Shows Off Missile Firepower At Sensitive Coastal Base Amid Rising Tensions With China On August 20, Taiwan demonstrated its missile capabilities at a remote southeastern test site, launching U.S.-made Patriot missiles and Taiwan-made Sky Bow III missiles, while a warship fired a RIM-66 Standard missile. The display, held at Jiupeng base in Pingtung County, comes amid rising tensions with China, which views Taiwan as its territory and has increased military activity. Taiwan has been bolstering its defenses in response, with Jiupeng also serving as a site for testing advanced missiles like the longer-range Hsiung Feng.
