Taiwan has been taking innovative measures to prepare for a potential military attack from China, utilizing tactics such as acting, fake blood, and mock missile strikes in its military exercises. These simulations aim to enhance the island’s readiness and coordination in the face of escalating tensions with Beijing.
The recent drills, conducted by the Taiwanese military, involved soldiers feigning injuries and applying fake blood to create a realistic simulation of battlefield conditions. Additionally, mock missile strikes were carried out to simulate responses to a potential missile attack from China.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry has stated that these exercises are crucial to test the country’s defense capabilities and improve its overall readiness. The ministry emphasized that Taiwan stands ready to defend itself against any aggression and will continue to strengthen its military in response to escalating threats.
China, which views Taiwan as a renegade province and has not ruled out the use of force to bring it under its control, has criticized Taiwan’s military drills as provocative and destabilizing. Beijing has repeatedly called on Taiwan to reunify with the mainland, threatening to use force if necessary.
As tensions between Taiwan and China continue to escalate, these military exercises highlight Taiwan’s efforts to enhance its defensive capabilities and readiness in the event of a Chinese attack.
