flag China's military drill simulating a strike on Taiwan’s leadership triggered heightened security measures in Taipei.

flag China's military drill, aired Jan. 15, simulated a strike on Taiwan’s leadership using drones and special forces, prompting concern in Taipei. flag The exercise, part of ongoing PLA training, coincided with claims by a Chinese scholar that Beijing has plans to remove Taiwan’s top officials. flag In response, Taiwan has expanded its presidential security force to 10,000, deployed U.S.-supplied Stinger and Javelin systems, and upgraded defenses with advanced radar and bunkers, citing lessons from the U.S. capture of Venezuela’s Maduro. flag Experts note China has trained for such operations since at least 2015, but execution remains complex.
