Drills and Preparations

The Taiwanese government has been ramping up its so-called “resilience” exercises to prepare civilians and officials for crises ranging from natural disasters to war. The drills are designed to test the island’s ability to respond to a range of scenarios, including a Chinese blockade, earthquake, and invasion.

The exercises began with a seven-hour tabletop exercise, followed by field drills that included shooting down a Chinese drone threatening a power plant and setting up food ration stations. The drills also tested the island’s ability to respond to information warfare, including Chinese disinformation and sabotage.

China’s Military Pressure

China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. The Chinese government has been increasing its military pressure on the island, with recent drills and exercises conducted in the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan’s government says only the island’s people can decide their future. The Taiwanese military is working to strengthen its defenses and prepare for a potential Chinese invasion.
