Taiwan forces simulated an invasion by China as part of live-fire war games against a backdrop of rising tensions with Beijing. The annual series of drills, Han Kuang are Taiwan's biggest military exercise and mocked up a scenario in which Chinese troops launched an amphibious assault. They took place on the outlying Penghu Islands, which sit in the strait that separates Taiwan from China. The exercise was staged in two parts. The first part of the drills, which were conducted on May 1-5 in Taipei City and a number of other locales, involved computer-simulated war games. The live drills, which were the second part of the exercises, ran May 22-26 at multiple locations around Taiwan.
