In 1973 the U.S. Navy had the USS Prairie AD 15 docked in Taiwan for about 3 months. What stuck out most for me was that at midnight the major streets all had sand bag machine gun positions manned to defend against a possible mainland China invasion or mainland China sympathizers from attempting to over throw the government.
The story was if you were in the Taiwan military and you fell asleep while on guard duty they did not wake you up; you were shot on the spot. Taiwan would be a very difficult island to invade. Unless China wants to bomb Taiwan back to stone-age they are going to pay a heavy, heavy price.
