TAMSUI/TAOYUAN, Taiwan: Taiwan held anti-landing exercises in a strategic river on Monday at the start of the annual Han Kuang war games, aiming to get as close as possible to the real battle without a script and simulating how to do it. China, which views democratically-ruled Taiwan as its territory, has been conducting regular exercises across the island for four years to force Taipei to accept Beijing's sovereignty claims, though despite Taiwan's strong opposition.
