US Needs to Prepare Markets for the Risk of a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan

TAIWAN, JUL 10 – Taiwan's 10-day Han Kuang drills involve 22,000 reservists and new US-supplied weaponry to counter China's maritime harassment and grey zone tactics, officials said.

  • Taiwan launched its longest 10-day Han Kuang military exercises on July 9, 2025, near Taipei to prepare against a potential Chinese invasion.
  • The drills began amid escalating Chinese military pressure and include countering gray zone tactics and testing command decentralization after communications attacks.
  • More than 22,000 reservists joined alongside regular forces using US-supplied Abrams tanks and HIMARS in live-fire training and simulated anti-landing scenarios.
  • Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin denounced the exercises as a bluff, asserting "Taiwan cannot resist the PLA's sharp sword" and highlighting "the irresistible trend of national reunification."
  • These extensive exercises reflect Taiwan's intent to improve defense readiness under President Lai Ching-te, while China condemns the drills and maintains claims over Taiwan.
