Taiwan is holding five days of military drills simulating a response to a Chinese invasion. The exercises come amid growing tensions across the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan on Monday launched the annual Han Kuang drill, during which the island nation’s preparedness for a possible Chinese invasionis tested and refined.
The five-day exercises come as relations between Taipei and Beijing are particularly strained following the inauguration speech on May 20 of President Lai Ching-te, which China denounced as being full of separatist content.
China considers democratically governed Taiwan to be its territory and has not ruled out using military force to assert its claimed sovereignty.

I was going to come in here and say I hope that they’ve been doing that for a long time and, in fact, it’s their annual drill. This barely qualifies as news.
