Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense has recently announced the implementation of an extended one-year conscription program, aimed at bolstering its defense capabilities in response to the growing threat posed by China. This decision comes as Taiwan seeks to enhance its ability to protect its sovereignty and maintain regional stability.
The extended conscription program will require eligible citizens, both male and female, to serve for a period of one year, as opposed to the previous four-month service requirement. By extending the duration of conscription, Taiwan aims to strengthen its military forces and better equip them to address the evolving security challenges in the region.
