Taiwan expands drone programme amid China defence overhaul
Original: Taiwan deepens drone push as China pressure drives defence overhaul
Taiwan is accelerating investment in drone capabilities as part of a broader defence overhaul, driven by mounting military pressure from China. The push reflects Taipei's effort to build asymmetric defences, with unmanned systems seen as a cost-effective way to deter a potential Chinese attack amid ongoing cross-strait tensions.
Why now: Rising Chinese military pressure on Taiwan is keeping defence modernisation efforts in focus.
