Taiwan briefly slows its mobile internet to text-only speed as part of defense drill

As part of its annual Han Kuang exercises simulating a response to a possible Chinese military invasion, Taiwan slowed mobile web traffic to 256 Kbps in Taipei and several other cities. These intensified drills incorporated local governments and civilians, conducting simulations such as air raid practice at metro stations and relocating hospital operations underground. The heightened defense exercises reflect increasing tensions with China.
