Taiwan will hold its annual military exercises next month.
Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te said this exercise will show the world the determination of the Taiwanese people to protect themselves.
Lai Ching-te also said the government will continue to work hard to strengthen the defense capabilities of the whole society.
This July is Taiwan's "National Unity Month," and Taiwan will demonstrate its unity and self-defense strength through the Han Kuang exercises and town exercises.
The Han Kuang 41 exercise will be held from July 9 to 18. This exercise will last longer than last year and will include more reserve soldiers.
Taiwan's Minister of National Defense, Gu Li-hsiung, said this exercise will include new elements, such as learning how to respond to harassment from China.
In recent years, China has often sent troops near Taiwan, increasing pressure on Taiwan.
Taiwan hopes to show through these exercises that it has the ability to protect itself.
At the same time, the international community also supports Taiwan. The U.S. Congress has passed legislation supporting Taiwan's participation in international organizations.
