TAMSUI/TAOYUAN, Taiwan: Taiwan conducted anti-landing drills on a strategic river on Monday at the start of the annual Han Kuang war games, which this year aim to be as close to actual combat as possible without scripts and simulate how to repel a Chinese attack. China, which views democratically-ruled Taiwan as its territory, has staged regular exercises around the island for four years to pressure Taipei to accept Beijing's sovereignty claims, despite Taiwan's strong objections.
