WASHINGTON: A US congressional war game simulating a Chinese invasion of Taiwan showed the need to arm the island"to the teeth", the chair of a committee on China said on Thursday , after the exercise indicated the US must boost production of long-range missiles and businesses must brace for economic fallout.

China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. The US is Taiwan's most important arms supplier but the island has complained of delayed weapons deliveries.
