PENGHU—Taiwan’s military simulated repelling a Chinese air ⁠landing assault on the strategically ⁠vital Penghu Islands on Monday, and will later in the day “throttle” mobile internet for the first ⁠time during annual war games. The 10-day Han Kuang exercise kicked off last week, rehearsing various scenarios should China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own ‌territory, ever make good ⁠on threats to try and seize the island by ​force.
