Taiwan practices to mobilise troops fast if China drills turn into attack

Hindustan Times  

TAIPEI, - Taiwan is strengthening its ability to move troops swiftly in case China suddenly turns one of its frequent drills around the island into an attack, Defence Minister Wellington Koo said on Wednesday, amid a heightened military threat from Beijing. Taiwan practices to mobilise troops fast if China drills turn into attack A five-day "rapid response exercise" began on Monday to train the forces of democratically-governed Taiwan to quickly mobilise against any attack by China or grey-zone harassment designed to test and exhaust Taiwan's armed forces. In the drills, troops set up anti-landing barriers near a key port just outside Taiwan's capital of Taipei, and deployed surface-to-air missile systems at strategic sites, video from the defence ministry showed. Taiwan's security officials have said China was trying to normalise drills near Taiwan, carying out what it calls "joint combat readiness patrols" using warplanes and navy vessels every seven to 10 days on average.
