This happened on the eve of Lai's keynote speech in Taipei, which could provoke a military response from Beijing.
Lai, who took office in May after winning the election in January, is known for his critical stance toward China. Beijing insists that Taiwan is part of its territory, which Lai and his government strongly deny.
