Officials in Taiwan have confirmed that US special forces personnel are stationed on its outlying islands, training its soldiers. Speaking on Thursday, Taiwanese defense authority chief Chiu Kuo-cheng addressed media reports of a permanent US army presence in Taiwan, confirming that US service members are training Taiwanese troops, helping them identify weaknesses and blind spots.
A week prior to Chiu’s remarks, a US site had reported that US ‘green berets’ were set to be deployed to Taiwan to act as permanent training observers and prepare the island’s special units, and that they would be stationed on the Kinmen Islands, six miles from mainland China.
Beijing, meanwhile, has hit out at the increased US military presence, with spokesman Chen Binhua arguing that Taiwan is being used as a ‘pawn’ for Washington to further its own interests, and that Taiwan’s political leaders are ‘pushing the people of Taiwan into a crisis.’http://129.226.69.186/bbs/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=MTExODM1fGQ0ZjZkNWY1ZTU2NmRkYzhmNmFjMGUyYzAzZGJiYjg1fDE3NTEyODY3MDI%3D&request=yes&_f=.jpg |
