Chinese rocket to space triggers Taiwan missile alert



China launched a rocket this afternoon carrying a satellite that flew over southern Taiwan.  This triggered the missile detection system and all of Taiwan got an alert on their smartphones.  China has launched rockets carrying satellites over Taiwan before, but this is the first time an air raid alert was triggered by it.  Reasons for that are unclear, but tensions are high.
