Recent war games in Taiwan unveiled substantial weaknesses in the island's response mechanisms to a potential Chinese annexation. In a groundbreaking civilian-led exercise hosted by Taipei School of Economics and Political Science Foundation, US, Japan, and Taiwan officials faced scenarios reflecting China's expected military strategies in 2030. The simulations revealed the reliance on US support is precarious, particularly given the ambiguous US military stance towards Taiwan's defense. Participants encountered escalating crises, emphasizing the unpredictability and complexity of potential conflicts in the region, and raising concerns over strategic assumptions and military preparedness.
The war games in Taiwan highlighted the serious vulnerabilities in responses to a possible Chinese annexation attempt and uncertainty surrounding US support.
This event was the first civilian-led military simulation in Taiwan, which tested responses to various escalating scenarios based on China's military strategies.
