Conscripts will see the length of their service extended from four months to one year in plans to be outlined by Taiwan’s president
Taiwan will extend its compulsory military service from four months to one year amid mounting military tensions with China, the island’s president has announced.
Under the plans due to come into effect in 2024, conscripts will undergo more intense training, including shooting exercises and combat instruction used by US forces. Conscripts will be tasked with guarding key infrastructure, enabling regular forces to respond more swiftly in the event of any attempt by China to invade.

The leader’s unprecedented third term opens with Covid protests, economic and housing issues and Taiwan strait crisis
As 2022 began, while swaths of the world were struggling with Covid and a looming war in Ukraine, life in China was relatively calm. Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid strategy was working and cases were low. There were lockdowns but they were orderly and people were compliant. This stability was exactly what Xi probably hoped would surround his taking of a historic third term, at the helm of a rising China. Economic dominance, domestic control, an annexed Taiwan, and increased global influence were all on the agenda.
But as the year closes and 2023 begins, China is, instead, entering uncharted territory.
