TAICHUNG, Taiwan—Taiwan’s air, sea, and land forces conducted live-fire exercises simulating the repulsion of an invading force on July 16, with President Tsai Ing-wen saying it showed their determination to defend the democratic island.
The Chinese regime considers Taiwan part of its territory despite the self-ruled island having its own government, military, and currency. It has stepped up pressure on Taiwan in recent years, including with regular air force intrusions into Taiwan airspace and naval exercises held near Taiwan.
