In Taiwan drill, armored carrier takes president to command center
Taiwan has kicked off the Han Kuang exercises, which are designed to bolster preparations for a possible future Chinese invasion.
Taipei - Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te traveled back in an armored personnel carrier to a command center during annual war games, demonstrating how the government would maintain functioning in the event of a war with China. The Han Kuang exercises, which began on Wednesday and run for 10 days, aim to strengthen Taiwan's readiness should China, which considers the island part of its territory, attempt to invade.
On Thursday, the presidential office released images showing Lai, clad in body armor and a helmet, entering the back of an armored vehicle.
