How will Taiwan defend itself from China’s large-scale air and navy invasion? Find out how the Taiwan military will defend the country when the capital, Taipei, becomes the primary target. Tension is at its highest in 40 years for Cross-Strait relations, resulting in major international attention on the Han Kuang exercise this year. In particular, Taiwan simulated the Ukraine War to focus its strategy on stopping the PLA from landing. Does the exercise reflect on what weapons Taiwan needs? Whether it's long-range missiles or submarines, is it possible to intercept the PLA from invading? What additional training does the Taiwan military need in order to cease the PLA’s attack? In this episode of TaiwanPlus Point, we are joined by Dr. Ying-yu Lin of Tamkang University, Dr. Arthur Ding of National Chengchi University Emeritus Professor, and a special interview with U.S. renowned military analyst, Rick Fisher to discuss and explore the crux of this year’s Han Kuang exercise!
