On Beigan island, part of Taiwan's Matsu archipelago that is within eyesight of China's mainland, 60-year-old chef Lin Ke-qiang says he does not want war.
"The Russia-Ukraine war, that's terrifying.
I feel very emotional seeing the people there become destitute and homeless", he says.
China was due to hold live-fire drills on Monday to round off three days of military exercises in response to Taiwan's president meeting with the US House speaker.
