Chiang Ying-ying

Chiang Ying-ying is a photographer whose work has been featured in recent news coverage of Taiwan's defense exercises. Specifically, Chiang's photographs were credited in reporting on the Urban Resilience (Air-Defense) Exercise, part of the annual Han Kuang military drills held in Taipei in August 2026. These exercises, which included measures like temporarily slowing mobile internet to text-only speeds, highlight Taiwan's efforts to bolster its defense capabilities and resilience in the face of regional security concerns. The drills also suggest a deepening alignment between Taiwan and the United States in military strategy and preparedness. Chiang's visual documentation provides a direct, albeit indirect, contribution to understanding the scale and nature of these significant military preparations and Taiwan's commitment to its security.
