NEW: #Taiwan’s first tabletop war game led by @ChingteLai’s office was part of a concerted effort to enhance defensive preparedness that’ll continue into 2025, with TW
seeking to work with partners, a cabinet-level security official told @NikkeiAsia. 1/4 asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…
“The scenario of the simulation was that Taiwan is facing an attack by China while Beijing has accelerated cooperation with other authoritarian countries, notably Russia, North Korea and Iran,” the security official said. 2/4 asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…
What can be improved? The SOPs that govt agencies had been used to were insufficient.
“In the face of such complex contingencies, each department cannot just respond to its own business,” the official said. 3/4 asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…
@yehaoqin emphasised the importance of countries working with Taiwan on drills and resilience.
“By engaging overseas participants in the tabletop, Taiwan can enrich their understanding of the challenges the island country faces.” 4/4 asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…
