Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te on Wednesday rallied residents to support the island’s troops after a fighter jet crashed during a night training flight.
Under Lai’s administration, Taiwan revamped training for its armed forces to include more nighttime drills and exercises as the democratic island faces greater pressures from China, which claims it as part of its territory.
On Tuesday night, Captain Hsieh Pei-hsun was forced to eject from his single-seat Mirage 2000
