Why are Taiwanese worried about their defense?
Episode Synopsis
Thousands of civilians recently marched in Taiwan to demand higher military spending and better readiness.

Islanders fear their armed forces may lack the resources and responsiveness needed to deter or respond to intensified coercion.
