Taiwan is closer to war than you think. In February 2022, the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out, shocking the world. As the smoke of war reached the other side of the globe, major media outlets published headlines such as "Is Taiwan next?" However, the Taiwanese people remained accustomed to the shock and quickly returned to their daily lives. But is Taiwan's security situation truly so stable?

The first major work comprehensively analyzing Taiwan's national defense. Given these constraints, how can we confront war and jointly safeguard the future? "Taiwan's Chance of Victory" is written by General Lee Hsi-ming, the 26th Chief of the General Staff. During his tenure, he developed Taiwan's "Total Defense Concept," based on the concepts of "innovation and asymmetric warfare," and pragmatically outlined Taiwan's future national defense.

Through long-term observation and interpretation of the Chinese Communist Party's movements, he has deeply analyzed its political and military dynamics and development logic, and comprehensively grasped Taiwan's overall national defense conditions and the realities of international relations. In the book, he explains in depth and simply the causes and timing of a possible war in the Taiwan Strait, as well as the disparity in military strength between the two sides of the strait and the possibility of international foreign aid. He also proposes a "comprehensive defense concept" based on Taiwan's situation. The perspective is grand, the details are meticulous, and it covers all areas of national defense and military operations.

▍If you care about Taiwan's security and future development, you must read the article. National defense issues are related to the safety of the entire people. We cannot rely solely on the military. We need to provide the entire population with correct national defense knowledge so that they can recognize the real environment and understand the overall situation. This can also awaken the entire population's national defense awareness and establish correct concepts and defense centripetal force.

At a time when mainland China's economy is booming and the international situation is changing rapidly, "Taiwan's Chance of Victory" is undoubtedly a wake-up call. We hope that it will help more people understand Taiwan's current situation and make the best preparations for possible future crises.
