military exercises, Taiwan’s biggest annual military drill, kicked off Monday with a simulated invasion by Chinese forces.
For the first time, the computerized war games feature a drill on how the military would respond to a disinformation campaign launched by Beijing, a military source told CNA.
In the ongoing war games, the military will conduct a drill on how it would use its existing news agencies, such as the Youth Daily newspaper and Military News Agency to track down the source of such disinformation before revealing it to the general public as a countermeasure, the source said.
The computerized war games will conclude on Friday, according to the Ministry of National Defense. [FULL STORY]
