Chinese military forces opposite Taiwan have been placed on the highest state of alert as Beijing begins large-scale annual war games, according to U.S. intelligence officials.
The maneuvers in Fujian province include thousands of ground troops and amphibious forces that have begun grouping in the southern China coastal region.
"So far we have not seen any ships," said one U.S. official who is monitoring the war games.
