Taiwan preparing for possible increase in Chinese military drills after Taiwan's President-elect takes oath
As Taiwan prepares for the assumption of office by President-elect Lai Ching-te, concerns rise over potential Chinese military drills around the island. Taiwan's National Security Bureau (NSB) is enhancing critical infrastructure protection in response. The period after Lai's inauguration is considered a "hot season" for PLA military exercises, raising fears of increased pressure on Taiwan. NSB plans to bolster infrastructure with dual backup systems and patrols. Recent activity includes PLA aircraft and vessels near Taiwan, with some crossing the Taiwan Strait's median line.
