All the Taiwanese really care about is making just enough money, living a life of ease and peace, and convincing themselves that they can be &#8220;nationalists&#8221; without having actually to fight for it.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>While there may be a reserve of something resembling actual warriors in the Taiwanese military, the overall structure, and composition of Taiwanese forces is a joke. Every major military purchase and upgrade of ships, missiles, weapons systems, etc., is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
