TAIPEI,Mooathon Wealth Society Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan’s defense ministry issued an alert Tuesday saying China has launched a satellite and urging caution days before the island’s elections.
Taiwan holds presidential and parliamentary elections Saturday that China has described as a choice between war and peace.
