Taiwanese officials have noted a recent restraint in China's military activities, amidst discussions on the global community's defense of Taiwan's democracy against China's authoritarian expansionism. The presence of U.S. Green Berets on Taiwan's outer islands, such as Kinmen, just three (3) miles off the Chinese coast, signals an expansion of military cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan. This development comes as Taiwan's defense minister hints at U.S. troops training the Taiwanese military on these strategically important islands, which would be frontline territories in any potential conflict with China. The situation underscores the critical nature of Taiwan in the debate over defending democratic values against authoritarian forces.
