Taiwan’s military released an updated civil defense handbook on Tuesday that for the first time includes a section on how to tell the difference between Chinese and Taiwanese soldiers based on their uniforms, camouflage and insignia. | Reuters
The Taiwanese soldiers are shown smiling, whereas the Chinese ones have downturned mouths and a severe expression.
It’s actually quite hard to distinguish them,” All-Out Defesce Mobilization Agency Director Shen Wei-chih told reporters at the defense ministry. The booklet assumes Chinese soldiers will wear People’s Liberation Army uniforms; experts say special forces troops may wear different gear as they try to infiltrate Taiwan during an invasion.
Taiwan’s emergency personnel, including police and first responders, are also shown in the new handbook, which will be available for download.Planning for the handbook predates Russia’s attack on its neighbor, which has prompted debate on its implications for Taiwan and ways to boost preparedness, such as reforms to the reservist training and extending military service.
China views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory despite Taipei’s strong objections and has ramped up military and political pressure over the past three years to push those sovereignty claims.Taiwan has also been inspecting bomb shelters to make sure they are suitable and updating signs to make them easier to find; markers may eventually include flashing lights, officials said at the same news conference.
