Late last year, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said China’s “reunification” with Taiwan was “inevitable.”
Taiwan will hold its annual five-day military exercise at the end of July. They will be close to real combat operations. Reuters reported this on Sunday, June 23.
“In this way, the island’s authorities plan to prepare Taiwan’s army for threats from China,” the agency pointed out.
A senior Taiwanese official told reporters that the exercises would not be a “show”, as they had been, but they would be as close as possible to a real battle with a potential enemy.
“In recent years, the threat of military conflict with the PRC has grown rapidly. Our defense combat plan must also be constantly reviewed and the need for comprehensive combat training becomes increasingly important,” the source said. .
He added that one of the unusual elements of the exercise for the Taiwanese army is night training.
Also, according to a Taiwanese official, Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, is in the exercise zone.
Recall that China threatened to “crush” Taiwan’s independence. According to the Chinese minister, the Chinese army will act “resolutely” to prevent the independence of the island.
