Taiwan Conducts Annual Han Kuang Military Exercises Simulating Chinese Invasion
Taiwan is conducting its annual Han Kuang military exercises to prepare for potential Chinese aggression. The drills include live troop maneuvers, missile system resupply, drone defense, special forces ambushes, and simulated repelling of air and coastal assaults, particularly on the Penghu Islands. For the first time, mobile internet speeds were deliberately slowed to test civil defense communication. Taiwan's government emphasizes strengthening national defense and civilian readiness amid ongoing tensions with China.
