HUALIEN, Taiwan – Taiwan curtailed its annual Han Kuang war games on Tuesday, July 23, as Typhoon Gaemi, also called Typhoon Carina in the Philippines, barrelled towards the island, and is expected to bring strong winds and torrential rain. Currently categorized as a medium strength typhoon by Taiwan, it is then likely to move across the Taiwan Strait and then hit the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian in the early hours of Friday.
“The impact from the typhoon at present on the east coast is rather obvious,” ministry spokesman Sun Li-fang told reporters at the Hualien air base. “So we will adjust some of the air and naval elements given the typhoon situation.”
