Taiwanese fighter who served in Ukraine says island unprepared for Chinese invasion

Firstpost  

Despite increasing Chinese military drills near the island, Taiwan faces significant challenges in readiness. Government officials point to shortages in manpower, training, and modern weaponry Chen Xi, a former fighter in Ukraine’s International Legion, has returned to Taiwan with a stark warning: the island is unprepared for a potential Chinese invasion. “Since January 2022, almost parallel to the Ukraine war, we have lost 12,000 volunteer soldiers,” said Alexander Huang, head of the opposition Kuomintang Party’s International Affairs Department. “All the army services — the army, the navy — are short of readiness.” Lessons from Ukraine Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party has intensified discussions on military reform, drawing parallels between Taiwan’s threat from China and Ukraine’s fight against Russia. “Even though we want to support Ukraine, there’s never been any direct government-to-government contact,” said François Chihchung Wu, Taiwan’s deputy foreign minister.
