October 20, Taiwan’s military scheduled the annual publication “National Defense Report” (hereinafter referred to as “the Report”). As cross-strait relations in the Ma Ying-jeou “government” After taking office, becoming relaxed, “the report” the extent to attract the eye gradually lower. Nevertheless, this “red tape” shown by some of the new content and new formulation, or by the media attention.

A comic version of boosting military service reform

According to Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry”, the new “report” as early as the work of codification had already started in September last year, during which the Taiwan authorities Distinguished scholars, retired generals and media practitioners, etc. A total of 31 people as “advisory member “, after festivals worldwide review of the guide, before at the end of last month by Ma Ying-jeou presided over a military meeting were finalized. Although the horse “president,” I have not made their usual order, but the substance of the report is not vague, the main part by the “Facing the Challenges,” “forward-looking innovation” and “create an opportunity to” three major sections, and further broken down 8 chapters also have their own focus.

Compared to the contents of the new “report” the change more reflected in the form. For the purpose of attracting the people, the Taiwan military has deliberately changed the schedule this year, practices, hopes to illustrated the way, so that the original blunt become refined and more readable reports. It is reported that they invited the island’s well-known text editors and art staff, designed for “report” polish.

For now, Taiwan’s military service system reform has entered a critical stage in order to replace the existing compulsory military service mercenary objectives, is expected to be basically completed in the next five years. As the echo, the new “report” also to “build Taiwan’s military elite – mercenary” for discussion axis. Moreover, the publishing units also let out early, the report said it would adapt to be able to carry a color comic book available for sale to help more school-age youth about the “national defense” to attract them to join the army.

However, starting on the 20th day of the ceremony, outside of the most anticipated comic version “report” has no trace, in accordance with the explanation given by the military will be delayed one week of its listing is to prevent the media “out of focus”, the report care taken in meeting the main demand unavoidable.

Relative to the increasingly heated exchanges between politicians and civil society, Taiwan’s military has been playing in cross-strait issues conservative role. This year’s “report” Despite the increase in Taiwan’s how to participate in disaster relief like the motions of sexual content, but the mainland’s military development and Taiwan’s “anti-system” means the subject of the length is still continued to account for the bulk.

Taiwan’s “Defense Minister” Gao Hua-chu, in the preamble stated that “In view of the mainland’s military threats have not been lifted, Taiwan should remain vigilant, and build a ‘tenacious defense and effective deterrence’ force.” Moreover, “the report” also judged that the Taiwan, mainland China will not reduce troop strength in the recent past, its release of all the gestures of peace signal, will actually weaken the military’s combat, “so difficult to resist our ability to turn up without a fight enemy’s military intentions.”

Should be affirmed that the new version of “report” the first time an explicit reference to the establishment of cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism (CBM) content, referred to as “related issues has been fermented,” Taiwan’s military would be prudent, pragmatic and progressive approach to be gradual promotion. As a prerequisite to establish such a mechanism, “the report” will be its best summarized as “the establishment of communication hotlines,” “Code of Conduct and other standards to make the Straits” and “restrictions on the deployment of special forces and military activities” three measures.

“The report” On the one hand accused the mainland “does not abandon the use of force against Taiwan”, on the other hand intends to promote cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism, whether the two contradictory? In response, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” War Planning Secretary Li Ximing vague in their statements, he said, military mutual trust mechanism is the “national security” plan, “we can do is stand in a framework, the planning can be done part of the . ”

For Taiwan’s military, the regular publication of the “National Defense Report” to the public to express its position on the carrier concentration, therefore, often codified in the report disclosed a variety of so-called military insider, not only as playing up “China military threat “, but also an additional arms purchases for their own rally.

The latest “report” also Pu Liu said the United States announced in October last year, military sale to Taiwan, the PLA, “Second Artillery Corps,” and the armed forces, namely, the continued implementation of its missile tests and increase the aircraft cruising at sea to conduct joint air defense drills, adjust the air deployment of troops, and the grouping of cross-fleet activities in the waters east of Taiwan, and even large-scale firepower demonstration and joint exercises, “deliberately Taiwan military activities to improve strength and pressure.”

In accordance with the Taiwan military’s statement that it is a series of protest against U.S. arms sales approach is to Taiwan before the presidential election last year substantially mobilizations deterrent to Taiwan, the mainland once again, large-scale policy of “angry” and also the first time after Ma Ying-jeou came to power “Xiama Wei.”

In addition, the cross-strait military balance clearly tilted to the momentum of the mainland, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” is no longer taboo. “The report” points out that, in the military preparations against Taiwan, the PLA already have attacked part of the Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia’s strategic deterrent capability of military bases, so that foreign military intervention in the Taiwan Strait concerns increase. Not only that, due to the increasing diversification of the PLA with Taiwan means of attack, you can use ballistic missiles, airborne precision guided weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles with the operations, fire cover all of Taiwan, so Taiwan’s defense more difficult.
