Taiwan Strengthens Defense Amid Tensions with China

Taiwan has intensified its defense measures in response to perceived threats from China, which it labels as a 'hostile foreign force.' President William Lai has reinstated the military court system to address crimes such as espionage and leaking classified information.

Additionally, Taiwan has expelled a Chinese spouse for pro-Beijing statements. The nation is significantly bolstering its military capabilities with new missiles, American tanks and planes, and domestically produced submarines.

Furthermore, Taiwan has extended its mandatory military service from four months to one year. These actions are in direct response to China's expansionist policies and military activities near Taiwan.

China has been conducting military exercises and offering incentives to Taiwanese citizens, aiming to undermine Taiwan's security and independence efforts. Meanwhile, international dynamics continue to evolve, with the United States providing military aid to Taiwan, emphasizing its commitment to Taiwan's self-defense.

These developments highlight the ongoing tension and complex geopolitical landscape in the region.
