Beijing insists democratic Taiwan is part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the self-ruled island under its control.
Defence Minister Wellington Koo told parliament as many as 22,000 reservists would be called up to take part in the exercises, up from 14,647 last year.
Taiwan maintains a standing call-up system to train its reservists. This year the mobilisation will be expanded as part of the annual Han Kuang military drills.
Koo said the most significant change would be the inclusion of “grey zone harassment” scenarios, simulating a military escalation based on “regional developments”.
Beijing regularly deploys fighter jets, warships and coast guard ships near Taiwan, and has held several major military exercises around the island in recent years.
In March, Taiwan’s defence ministry said it would simulate possible scenarios for a Chinese invasion in 2027 during Han Kuang drills.
Officials in the United States -- Taipei’s main backer and biggest arms supplier -- have previously cited 2027 as a possible timeline for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
