Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te visits soldiers and air force personnel in Hualien, Taiwan May 28, 2024.TAIPEI — There are many examples in history of smaller militaries beating larger opponents, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te told air force officers in comments released on Tuesday , offering encouragement ahead of annual war games being held later this month.
"The amount of equipment admittedly is important, but it cannot represent the military power of a country," Lai said, in video footage released by his office. Taiwan starts its five-day Han Kuang exercises on July 22, alongside the Wan An civil defence drills where cities are briefly shut down during simulated air raids.
"The peace we want is a peace with a solid foundation, a true peace that must be established by our own strength," Lai said at the Taichung air base.
