How Taiwan's Military Trains for a Chinese Invasion | Taiwan Talks EP175

In Taiwan, the military spent a week rehearsing a full-scale invasion by China that included an airport takeover and air raid drills that incorporated civilians, reserves and special forces. The annual Han Kuang exercises, Taiwan’s largest military drills, test the country’s combat readiness against a potential PLA invasion. They have done so annually for 39 years. The drills comprise two parts, computer simulations and live-fire drills, which for the first time this year saw troops practicing defending Taiwan’s main international airport.

Our guests are:

Andrew Yang
- Former Taiwan (ROC) Minister of National Defense

Tony Hu
- Former U.S. Department of Defense Senior Director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia

An air assault by the PLA against Taoyuan Airport would be incredibly risky and would certainly fail. PLA helicopters and the Y-20 cargo plane would be easy pickings for Taiwan's air defense missiles and MANPADS.

I ask the Taiwan government to keep in mind many US CIVILIAN tactical training centers exist. Poland or Israel might be open minded to offer them as well.

Just send some men over for mandatory vacation.

Thanks for sharing. It is certain that if Taiwan is very strong and over-armed, the island will escape the slavery of the single thought of the communist dictatorship and its dictatorxi who is a mental patient cos he wants to leave his name in history even at the price of massacres and butcheries. Otherwise he will feel humiliated lol. Taiwan must ally with the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, Brunei etc etc, even with Vietnam. Don't make the same mistakes like with the Nazis

Besides, China wants to invade Taiwan, and then they can't even stand off for 20 mins and over. Very laughable 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
