TAIWAN, TAOSUI/TAOYUAN: Taiwan conducted amphibious defense drills on a strategic river on Monday, marking the start of the Hankwang war drills. The goal this year is to simulate a real-world battle without a script and to repel a Chinese attack. China, which considers democratically ruled Taiwan its own territory, has been conducting regular drills around the island for four years to pressure Taipei into accepting Beijing’s claims, despite Taiwan’s strong opposition.
