CHINA-TAIWAN-MILITARY-EXERCISES

HKG51 - 19990720 - SOUTH CHINA, CHINA : A picture released 20 July 1999 shows Chinese Marines during amphibious military exercises some time last week at an undisclosed location in southern China. China issued a strong warning to Taiwan 20 July 1999 following repeated demands by the island's President Lee Teng-hui that it be treated as a sovereign state. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly vowed last week to take action if Taiwan move towards independence. - PHOTO/AFP/CHINA NEWS SERVICE/-/rab
