The tragically, almost comically, outdated bureaucracy, its minuscule conscription training, and cutbacks to its military make it appear like the Taiwanese government knows something the rest of us don’t.
Wartime mobilization plans in Sweden and Finland, until the fall of the Soviet Union, touched upon almost every aspect of not only military but civilian and government life as it lived with the potential threat of a Soviet invasion. Israel, a country that still feels it may, with little notice, face attack, likewise has extensive conscription and a well drilled and, for its size, vast military.
Taiwan? Not so much….
