You really have to show how stupid you are , do you? Do you even know Taiwan is a place name, not a country's name, do you actually know Taiwan's country name?
Give us a break. I worked with Taiwanese engineers in the past. The official name is
The Republic Of China and I have used ROCAF in previous discussions. You ain't that smart, pal.
Would you go fight for US in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia...? China has 1.4 billion people, how many do you think can have a chance to fight in war?
For starter, I have done my time in service of my country, so I can justifiably criticize you and your friends.
Second...The Parade Line Army (PLA) recently admitted to training issues so severe that it is thinking about reactivating retirees who are
OLDER than me, and I am a 60 yrs old former USAF.
Yeah...The PLA invasion fleet will have 60+ yrs old sailors and soldiers.
In another first, report cites ‘training resources imbalance’ and ship maintenance as reasons for the backlog affecting many officers.

The vice-captain of a warship has yet to complete a key training test,
China’s military has revealed, in an indirect but rare acknowledgement of its shortage of highly skilled troops.
“In recent years, as new warships have been commissioned and old ships retired, the problem of ‘equipment awaiting talent’ has become increasingly severe,” said the report, published on December 26.
The PLA Daily report said the navy had begun to rotate and coordinate training sessions to tackle the backlog and also make full use of the limited training ships.
Ni suggested that the military enlist more highly educated personnel and re-enlist retired soldiers if they were still fit.
China is building more shiny new toys than their soldiers could operate. Now it is revealed that the current youths are more interested in doing the minimum (lying flat), do not want to marry and have families, and disillusioned with the Party.
Many analysts estimated 8-10 yrs preparations. I am more optimistic and say 5-6 yrs that China can prepare for an invasion of Taiwan. But as more and more social problems are revealed, how likely do you think is a war against Taiwan? Critical to deterrence is perception, as in how each side perceived the other on war capabilities. If the Parade Line Army (PLA) believes the costs outweighs the benefits, especially if Taiwan is destroyed in the end, how likely is it for the PLA to support a war? All the US have to do is arm Taiwan to the gills.
This article about this former Taiwanese soldier is suspicious. How is defending your country make you a 'cannon fodder'? Usually, the context of a 'cannon fodder' is about fighting in foreign lands for dubious reasons. That sounds more like for Chinese youths than for Taiwanese.
