Taiwan says military drills will involve largest call-up

TAIPEI: Taiwan said Wednesday military drills to be held in July will involve the largest ever mobilization of reservists for the annual exercises, which are being extended to improve the island’s response to “grey zone” harassment by China. Beijing insists democratic Taiwan is part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the self-ruled island under its control. The Han Kuang exercises, which the defense ministry said would be held from July 9-18, are conducted every year across Taiwan to train its armed forces as China ramps up military pressure on the island.
