Taiwanese television broadcast a video on Friday of a military exercise simulating the island coming under attack.
The film, produced by the defence ministry, showed troops firing anti-aircraft, anti-tank and anti-ship missiles in defence of the island against a mock invasion from across the Taiwan Strait, the waterway that separates it from mainland China.
