In light of increasing threats from China, Taiwan is escalating its military preparedness through a series of extensive drills and exercises. The Taiwanese military has been seen clearing streets and conducting urban resilience exercises, including simulating scenarios where communication networks are disrupted. Notable activities include the deployment of Abrams tanks and the testing of new attack drones. Recently, the government throttled mobile internet to text-only speeds as part of a defense drill to evaluate the resilience of communications under potential attack scenarios. Additionally, sirens have blared across the nation as part of live-fire drills aimed at simulating a potential Chinese invasion. The involvement of U.S. defense interests indicates a deeper alignment in response to the regional threat, while the Taiwanese government is simultaneously beefing up civil defenses to ensure readiness for any conflict.
