WAR GAMES. Taiwan’s Defense Minister Wellington Koo gestures as he arrives at an air force base during an inspection of the troops as part of Taiwan’s annual Han Kuang military drills in Hualien on Tuesday. The Central Weather Administration issued sea and land warnings on Tuesday with Gaemi packing sustained wind speeds of 144 kilometers per hour as it headed towards the island’s northeastern coast.
But Gaemi — currently categorized as a medium-strength typhoon by the Central Weather Administration — is expected to impact Taiwan beginning Wednesday, and could make landfall in the island’s northeast. “At present, the impact of the typhoon is more obvious in the eastern region and we will make some adjustments to some sea and air exercises due to the typhoon situation,” he said.
Lai, who is a staunch defender of Taiwan’s democracy, is regarded as a “dangerous separatist” by China.
