Taiwan internet throttling war exercise

Taiwan conducted its first-ever internet 'throttling' drill during the annual 10-day Han Kuang war exercises.
The drill took place in the central metropolis of Taichung to simulate communication disruption during a potential Chinese invasion or natural disaster.
During the exercise, mobile internet speeds were significantly reduced, though basic mobile services remained functional.
Critical infrastructure, including ATMs, traffic signals, landlines, and fixed-line internet services, remained unaffected by the throttling.
The broader Han Kuang exercises also included simulations of repelling air landing assaults on the Penghu Islands.
Taiwan maintains annual war games and air raid drills to prepare for the threat of a Chinese invasion.
